The New England Association of Schools and Colleges accredits schools and
colleges in the six New England states. Membership in one of the six regional
accrediting associations in the United States indicates that the school or college
has been carefully evaluated and found to meet standards agreed upon by
qualified educators. Colleges support the efforts of public school and commu-
nity officials to have their secondary schools meet the standards of membership.
Northeastern University supports the efforts of secondary school officials and
governing bodies to have their schools achieve regional accredited status to
provide reliable assurance of the quality of the educational preparation of its
applicants for admission.
The Northeastern University Bulletin (USPS 989-040) is published by Northeast-
ern University at 360 Huntington Avenue, Boston, Massachusetts 021 15, six
times a year; once in January, twice in August, once in September, and twice in
October. Second-Class Postage Paid at Boston, Massachusetts, and at addi-
tional mailing offices. Volume XIII, Number 3, August 30, 1985.

Delivery of Services
The University assumes no liability, and hereby expressly negates the same, for
failure to provide or delay in providing educational or related services or facili-
ties or for any other failure or delay in performance arising out of or due to
causes beyond the reasonable control of the University, which causes include,
without limitation, power failure, fire, stnkes by University employees or others,
damage by the elements and acts of public authorities. The University will, how-
ever, exert reasonable efforts, when in its judgment it is appropriate to do so, to
provide comparable or substantially equivalent services, facilities or perfor-
mance, but its inability or failure to do so shall not subject it to liability.
The Northeastern University Bulletin contains current information regarding the
University calendar, admissions, degree requirements, fees, and regulations,
and such information is not intended to be and should not be relied upon as a
statement of the University's contractual undertakings.
Northeastern University reserves the right in its sole judgment to promulgate
and change rules and regulations and to make changes of any nature in its
program, calendar, admissions policies, procedures and standards, degree re-
quirements, fees, and academic schedule whenever it is deemed necessary or
desirable, including, without limitation, changes in course content, the resched-
uling of classes, cancelling of scheduled classes and other academic activities
and requiring or affording alternatives for scheduled classes or other academic
activities, in any such case giving such notice as is reasonably practicable un-
der the circumstances.
Northeastern University will do its best to make available to you the finest
education, the most stimulating atmosphere and the most congenial conditions it
can provide. But the quality and the rate of progress of your academic career is
in large measure dependent upon your own abilities, commitment, and effort.
This is equally true with respect to professional advancement upon completion
of the degree or program in which you are enrolled. The University cannot guar-
antee that you will obtain or succeed at any particular job; that will depend upon
your own skills, achievement, presentation, and other factors such as market
conditions at that time. Similarly, in many professions and occupations there are
increasing requirements imposed by federal and state statutes and regulatory
agencies for certification or entry into a particular field. These may change dur-
ing the period of time when you are at Northeastern and they may vary from
state to state and from country to country. While the University stands ready to
help you find out about these requirements and changes, it is your responsibility
to initiate the inquiry because the University has no other way of knowing what
your expectations and understandings are.
In brief, the University is there to offer you educational opportunities and
choices and to assist you in finding the direction in which you want to steer your
educational experience. But you are a partner in this venture with an obligation
and responsibility to yourself.

A Message from the President
We find ourselves in the midst of a cultural revolution with effects as
profound as those of the industrial revolution. At an ever-increasing
pace, we are being propelled into an information age that is shaping
our world. The challenge facing colleges and universities is to adapt
their value systems to the sweeping impact of information technology.
We must find a way to move forward while holding fast to the wisdom
of the past.
Northeastern University is a model for the modern university. We are
constantly evolving to reflect the changes in our society. We recognize
education as the preparation for life and the intelligent appreciation of
life. The common theme of our programs is the combination of the
quest for knowledge with the forging of a productive career path. The
Cooperative Plan of Education, the cornerstone of Northeastern's na-
tional and international reputation for the last seventy-five years, is our
way of effectively coupling these objectives. By integrating learning
with the demands of living, cooperative education enables students to
understand the importance of continued learning throughout their lives.
At Northeastern, a practical approach to higher education does not
diminish our emphasis on academic life. We offer a broad spectrum of
programs spanning professional fields and the liberal arts. Our distin-
guished faculty have traditionally emphasized excellence in teaching
as a professional goal. They are dedicated to pursuing innovative
scholarship and generating new knowledge through research in areas
as diverse as cancer detection, artificial intelligence, laser technology,
and language and cognition.
As an urban university located in the heart of Boston, one of Ameri-
ca's richest cultural environments, Northeastern University is a dynamic
and exciting place at which to study. The entire city is part of our "ex-
tended campus." By taking advantage of the University's many and
diverse programs, the Cooperative Education Plan, and the resources
of our surroundings, Northeastern students have a unique opportunity
to achieve well-rounded intellectual, cultural and social development.
Kenneth G. Ryder
President
Cooperative Education
Cooperative Education: An
Education that Works
Cooperative Education is based on the principle that what students learn
in the workplace is just as valuable as what they learn in the classroom.
By combining work and study, students gain greater insight into each.
At Northeastern University, cooperative education is given such a high
priority that it is considered a degree requirement for most programs.
The University makes every effort to plan and carefully structure student
work assignments. It also attempts whenever possible to integrate stu-
dents' work experiences into their academic work. But the University
cannot do it alone. A student's interest and enthusiasm play a crucial
role in determining the quality of co-op experiences. The success of co-
op, then, depends upon the cooperation of educators, students, and
outside agencies to produce an integrated and relevant program.
Studies have shown that the reinforcement of classroom learning by,'
job responsibilities increases a student's motivation and self-confidence
as well. Greater interest in academic work develops when students see
the relation between co-op work and the principles they study in the
classroom. Not only are co-op students able to evaluate career deci
sions early in their college years, they gain meaningful work experience:
before graduation and establish professional contacts and references.
Finally, the salaries students earn on co-op assignments help defray
tuition, room and board, books, and other expenses.

4 / Cooperative Education
The Department of Cooperative Education administers the cooperative
education programs for all undergraduate education' programs in the
Basic Colleges and the graduate programs in Engineering.
Participation in the Cooperative Plan of Education is required of all
students in the Basic Colleges except those in the College of Arts and
Sciences. Although most Arts and Sciences students choose to take
advantage of co-op, the college offers a full-time program in which eight
quarters of upperclass study may be completed in three years.
Cooperative Education curricula leading to the baccalaureate degree
require five years at Northeastern University. Programs consist of a
freshman year of three consecutive quarters of full-time study followed
by four upperclass years in which students alternate periods of class-
room attendance with Cooperative Education assignments.
Students are assigned a faculty coordinator-counselor team which is
responsible for all phases of their cooperative program and which as-
sists them in deriving greater value from their education at Northeastern.
Personal interviews provide the basis for referral to specific opportunities
that help students realize career objectives. The Department of Coop-
erative Education keeps abreast of activities in specific areas in order to
provide counseling on opportunities and trends. In general, co-op as-
signments become increasingly professional as the students' education
and abilities grow.
Students may wish to participate in an activity other than paid employ-
ment during a cooperative period. They may wish to travel abroad, to
volunteer their services, or to take specialized courses at another insti-
tution. Students may arrange time for these special activities with their
coordinators.

Further details on the cooperative program are available in a booklet
entitled Co-opportunities, which the Department of Undergraduate Ad-
missions will be happy to send you on request.
Life/Career Planning Program
Joseph E. Barbeau, Ed.D., Director
The fundamental mission of the Life/Career Planning Program is to offer
students a variety of career-related services. Those who may be unde-
cided about their academic major or career direction or who want to
explore career options and formulate postgraduation plans may elect
any of several courses which are open to all undergraduate majors.
Students needing assistance with resumes, interviewing, cover letters or
job survival techniques may attend regularly scheduled workshops or
may use the drop-in resume critique service of the Career Resource
Center, Also available in the Center is an "open-shelf collection of print
materials and a computer terminal for obtaining information on jobs and
careers, financial aid, and graduate and professional schools.
International Cooperative
Education
Robert E. Vozzella, M.A., C.A.G.S., Director
The International Cooperative Education Office offers a wide variety of
services to domestic as well as international students. Through the Inter-
national Exchange Program, qualified undergraduates are afforded the
opportunity to be placed abroad for their cooperative work experience.
Placements are currently available in the United Kingdom, Ireland,
France, Germany, Sweden, Canada, and Israel for students whose ac-
ademic, linguistic, and professional experience makes them appropriate
candidates for positions abroad.
International students may receive assistance on matters relating to
their co-op employment, such as social security and tax information, as
well as issues involving the verification of their immigration and co-op
status.
The course "Working in the United States" which has been expressly
created to meet the needs of underclass international students is taught
by the staff of the International Cooperative Education Office. It is de-
signed to assist such students to compete more effectively for domestic
cooperative education positions and to facilitate their adjustment into the
American work force.
New co-op programs currently are being developed in the home
countries of international students where the economic and social con-
ditions render such undertakings possible. Limited opportunities with
various American Multinational Corporations are available for students
majoring in engineering, computer science and business administration.

The Urban University
Campus Highlights
Located on Huntington Avenue in the Back Bay section of Boston, the
main campus of Northeastern University occupies fifty-five acres, includ-
ing the same land on which the Boston Americans and the Pittsburgh
Nationals played the first World Series baseball game in 1903. Today,
the University still provides ready access to baseball games; it is located
close to the Fenway section and Fenway Park, as well as to cultural
landmarks such as Symphony Hall, the Museum of Fine Arts, and the
Boston Public Library, among others.
The "front door" to the campus is the Yard, or Quadrangle, facing
Huntington Avenue, which is accessible to public transportation. The
remaining sides of the Quadrangle are formed by Richards Hall, the Ell
Student Center, and the Dodge Library. These three buildings were
erected following an architectural design contest held in the early 1930s.
Their white brick facades and clean lines form the nucleus of an archi-
tectural unit that is maintained throughout much of the campus.
The campus also reflects the fact that Northeastern is an urban uni-
versity. Many University buildings bear the architectural design that
characterizes the buildings surrounding the Quadrangle; other buildings
have been acquired over the years and refurbished or recycled for the
University's use. Many of these buildings were constructed before
Northeastern selected its traditional architectural theme and reflect the
more traditional warmth of old Boston.
The campus itself has been planned to provide freedom of movement
within the central academic area of classroom and laboratory buildings.
During the ten-minute break between classes, students and faculty are
able to reach their next classrooms along the walkways and secondary
streets that provide ready access to all centrally located buildings. In
addition, a network of underground corridors connects many of the
buildings on campus, providing routes that are especially convenient
during periods of inclement weather.
Dunng the early 1960s, large dormitory facilities were added diago-
nally across Huntington Avenue from the Quadrangle. In fact, Huntington
Avenue currently forms an approximate divider between the education ■
buildings on the south and the dormitories to the north.
Two blocks and a right turn away from the main quadrangle on cam-
pus is the oldest indoor ice-hockey arena in the United States and one
of the focal points for amateur athletics in the Boston area. Today, the
Matthews Arena is primarily devoted to hockey and collegiate sports,
but has expanded its university athletic focus to include all men's bas-
ketball contests and many women's varsity contests. With more than
million and a half dollars already invested in the Matthews Arena, the
building is an architectural jewel and a credit to the community. As long
as Northeastern owns the Matthews Arena, it will continue to meet the
needs of the surrounding community as a superior recreational facility.
As the University continues to expand, parking and recreational areas
are periodically relocated on the edge of campus as new buildings are
Campus Highlights/ 9
added to the central academic area. At present, the University is plan-
ning construction around a second and new "front door" on the south-
west border of the campus. In that area, a transit line will be relocated
on the site of an old railroad line, and the station at Ruggles Street will
10 /Campus Highlights
also coordinate local bus routes and a suburban commuter rail line. This
area is also the location of the newest housing facility on campus, West
Hall, a ten-story apartment-dormitory.
Plans for the future of the University include the construction of
some new buildings as well as upgrading of the old. Among the high-
lights of the campus is its newest structure, the Snell Engineering Center.
This five-story building accommodates the departments of Industrial En-
gineering and Information Systems, Civil Engineering, Chemical Engi-
neering, and Mechanical Engineering and the School of Engineering
Technology (formerly Lincoln College). The Snell Center adjoins the
Dana Research Center, home of the departments of Physics and Electri-
cal and Computer Engineering, creating an impressive academic com-
plex. Cullinane Hall, which houses the College of Computer Science, is
a fine example of renovation. The structure was the University's oldest
and has been totally refurbished to meet the ever increasing needs of
Northeastern's newest college. The Snell Center and a planned new
library will not only provide more classrooms and research and study
facilities, but will also physically form a quadrangle, the key design
element of spatial organization at the University. The quadrangle will be
an integral part of the new "front door" to the campus.
A building constructed recently is the architecturally dramatic addition
to the Law School. This one-story structure is half below grade, opening
into a sunken garden, and has a landscaped plaza on its roof. Over a
block long, this plaza is a focal point and gathering spot for the west
campus area. Adjacent to this site, a semicircular classroom building
has also been recently constructed.
An ongoing renovation program is also providing more accessibility
for the handicapped. Existing facilities throughout the University are
being updated constantly to provide more efficient classroom, research,
and office facilities while still retaining their traditional charm.

Boston, the "Extended Campus"
It IS no accident that one out of every five Massachusetts students
chooses Northeastern University for his or her college education. In
addition to its innovative system of Cooperative Education, Northeast-
ern's "extended campus" of Boston attracts students who want to take
advantage of the many opportunities this world-class city offers.
Located throughout metropolitan Boston, many of America's leading
corporations and institutions provide Northeastern students with mean-
ingful co-op assignments. Their offices and laboratories become class-
rooms for students who want to participate in the world of work first-
hand. Co-op employers help them gain the knowledge and judgment for
a head start in launching their careers and the foundation on which to
build them.
For those who want to see the eclectic blend of historic and contem-
porary Boston, there are the exciting shops and restaurants of Boston's
nationally famous Quincy Market and the new Copley Place. Alongside
the bustle of Haymarket in the North End, the ancient tradition of China-
town, and the grace of the Public Garden is the strikingly bold architec-
ture of Government Center, Copley Plaza, the State House, and the
Christian Science Center. The John Hancock Observatory and the Pru-
dential Skywalk offer excellent views of Boston, old and new.
Among the hundreds of cultural attractions in Boston are the Museum
of Fine Arts and Symphony Hall, both adjacent to the Northeastern cam-
pus. The former provides free admission to its permanent collections
and special international exhibitions for more than 16,000 Northeastern
undergraduates. Also neighbors of Northeastern are the Isabella Stewart
Gardner Museum, the Institute of Contemporary Art, the New England
Conservatory of Music, the Christian Science Center, and the Boston
Public Library. A short ride on mass transit brings students to the Mu-
seum of Science, Hayden Planetarium, and the Theatre District.
The home of more than sixty colleges and universities, greater Boston
offers an ever-changing kaleidoscope of academic enrichment. Within
walking distance of Northeastern are Massachusetts Institute of Tech-
nology. Boston University, Simmons College, Emmanuel College, Mas-
sachusetts College of Art, and Harvard Medical School. Also close by
are Boston's world-renowned hospitals and their affiliated research fa-
cilities.
Best known as the birthplace of the American Revolution, Boston at-
tracts thousands to the historical landmarks of its Freedom Trail every
year. Among them are Paul Revere's House, the U.S.S. Constitution
("Old Ironsides"), Faneuil Hall, Beacon Hill, and the Boston Common. In
recent years, a Harborwalk has introduced thousands more to the excit-
ing sights on the Boston Waterfront, including the Boston Tea Party Ship
and Museum.
Boston revels in the competition of its professional sports teams— the
Red Sox, Celtics, Bruins, and Patriots— and Northeastern students join
in the excitement at Fenway Park, Boston Garden, and Sullivan Stadium.
Each spring, runners from all over the world come to Boston to partici-
pate in the Boston Marathon— the granddaddy of them all. In addition,
the Charles River and the slopes of northern New England tempt North-
eastern students with some of the best crewing and skiing in the country.
12 /Campus Highlights
The list of professional, historical, cultural, educational and recrea-
tional opportunities in Boston goes on and on. Although many of them
are within walking distance of Northeastern, many others are easily ac-
cessible by mass transit, which stops directly in front of the University.
Northeastern, in partnership with many of the city's most prestigious
institutions, encourages students to explore these opportunities to the
fullest.

Program Alms
Studies in a broad distribution of disciplines in Arts and Sciences are
universally regarded as the core of higher education. For this reason,
nearly all students in the University— no matter what disciplines they
choose for their career training— devote a substantial portion of their
studies to the arts and sciences.
The College of Arts and Sciences comprises a wide variety of pro-
grams spanning an enormous range of human knowledge and activity.
These programs are grouped informally into divisions as follows: (1 ) Fine
Arts, (2) Humanities, (3) Natural Sciences, including Mathematics, and
(4) Social Sciences. The College as a whole emphasizes the general
education of students; within each division, the disciplines tend to offer
a common preprofessional orientation and emphasis.
In addition, the College offers a large number of interdisciplinary pro-
grams as well as extradisciplinary opportunities for the ennchment of
learning. These are grouped into a division of Special Programs. The
division includes exchange programs with other institutions, both nation-
ally and internationally, for employment and/or study; programs for ex-
tended studies in field settings at sea and abroad; and cultural programs
involving affiliations with professional performing arts organizations — to
name a few. At present the division comprises over thirty different spe-
cial programs of various types. These programs are described at the
end of the Arts and Sciences section of this Bulletin.
Graduates of the College find they are prepared for a multitude of
employment opportunities in all walks of life. Many choose to accept
employment directly, following receipt of the bachelor's degree. Others
choose to continue their training by going on to graduate-level studies,
for example, in business, law, or medicine. Others decide to pursue
advanced study in an area closely related to their undergraduate field.
Four- and Five-Year Programs in all programs, students of the Col-
lege have the option of choosing a four-year, full-time track or the five-
year Cooperative Plan. The five-year plan offers opportunities for regular
"real world" employment and income in an area often related to the
22 / College of Arts and Sciences
chosen area of academic work. Students are normally eligible to partic-
ipate in [he Cooperative Plan when they achieve sophomore status.
Major Programs
Entering students are invited to express a "major preference" for one of
the major programs, and this, together with the core requirements of the
College, determines the course of studies in the first and second years.
There is considerable flexibility, however, and students often change
their preferences during this period. Formal certification of the major
choice, accomplished by submission and approval of a petition, nor-
mally takes place at the beginning of the third year, when the transition
to the "upper division" of the College occurs.
Students entering the lower division of the College may wish to petition
later for transfer to the upper division of the College of Business or the
College of Computer Science. Arts and Sciences freshmen with this
intention should indicate "Business" or "Computer Science" as the initial
major preference on the application.
Students in the College may earn a Bachelor of Arts degree in all
major programs or a Bachelor of Science degree in most major pro-
grams.
Honors Program
The Honors Program of the College exists to meet the needs of highly
motivated and especially successful students. It is an optional program
providing an assortment of special courses and activities for students
who are invited to participate.
The Honors Program sponsors, through the efforts of an advisory
council of students in the program and a faculty honors committee, a
number of cultural, recreational, and social events, as well as a speaker
series. Some of these events are made available by the program for the
benefit of the entire University community. Others afford honors students
alone the opportunity to associate with peers in circumstances less for-
mal than the classroom, where they can get better acquainted and par-
ticipate in the casual discussions that make up such an important part
of a university education.
The Honors Curriculum consists of (1) some of the courses required
for all, or elected by many, students; (2) interdisciplinary and survey
seminars as honors alternatives for elective courses; (3) one-credit-hour
"mini-courses" on a wide variety of subjects; and (4) the opportunity for
students to undertake a special Honors Project under the supervision of
a faculty adviser in the junior and senior years.
The Honors Program is designed to be consistent with participation in
the other programs of the College, including a major in any of the de-
partments. The Honors Program makes some extra demands, but be-
cause the courses are limited in size, aim for greater than usual breadth
and depth of inquiry, and promote close interaction between faculty and
students, the program offers especially stimulating educational oppor-
tunities.
A student's participation in any honors course is noted clearly on his
or her transcript— something that may be useful when students apply for
employment or admission to graduate school.
Students who participate in the Honors Program may be eligible for
Honors Program Distinction at graduation. The requirement for this no-
tation on the student's transcnpt is that a student completes at least
College of Arts and Sciences / 23
twenty-four quarter hours of course work in tfie program, including at
least one survey seminar and not more tfian eighit quarter hours of credit
for a junior/senior honors project.
Since the fall of 1983, eligible students from other colleges in the
University have been invited to participate in the Honors Program
courses and activities.
Advising and Placement
Upon acceptance to the College, students are placed into freshmen and
sophomore courses designed to suit their abilities, needs, and prospec-
tive major affiliations. The placement process involves close consultation
between students and faculty advisers from the major programs.
The particular studies advised for freshmen fall into several placement
categories, as follows: (1) honors, (2) regular, (3) regular with modifica-
tion, and (4) special. The latter two categories may require that students
undertake studies in skill development to improve their chances of suc-
cess in college. These placements are determined by faculty, subject to
review by consultation during Orientation Week, before classes start in
the fall quarter. Continued monitoring and mentoring by faculty and/or
staff advisers aids students in appropriately preparing to enter their
major fields of study.
As in the freshman year, faculty guidance is available to upper-class
students for maintaining satisfactory academic standing and gaining
entry by petition to a major field of specialization. After the major choice
is certified, students are formally affiliated with their department, its fac-
ulty, and other students in the same major field.
The Arts and Sciences Dean's Office, located in 403 Meserve Hall, is
the central administrative office for all students majoring in Arts and
Sciences programs. In addition to the academic counselors located in
the various departments, the Dean's Office staff is available to all stu-
dents for academic assistance. The counselors in the Dean's Office work
closely with departmental advisers to help the student work out a pro-
gram of study and take care of any problems that may ahse relating to
administrative procedures. The Dean's Office is open from 8:30 to 4:30,
Monday through Friday, during the fall, winter, and spring quarters, and
from 8:00 to 5:30, Monday through Thursday, during the summer. Stu-
dents are encouraged to make appointments with counselors at any of
these times. The phone number is 437-3980.
Student Services
Cahners Hall Math/Writing Center All mathematics and English re-
medial courses are taught in classrooms in Cahners Hall, the Math/
Writing Center. The facility includes a Writing Center and a Math Work-
shop, where students may receive individual tutoring. In addition, Cah-
ners Hall has five computer terminals and a printer which are used to
teach problem-solving strategies in the remedial math courses.
Preprofessional Advising The Pre-Health Professions Advisory Com-
mittee, a University-wide group, offers preprofessional counseling for
students interested in a career in medicine, dentistry, or related profes-
sional medical fields. The Committee members are available to discuss
the various medical fields, minimum admissions requirements, and ap-
plication processes.
For students preparing for a career in law, there are also a number of
faculty members who can serve as advisers and resource personnel on
related curricular and admissions questions.
24 / College of Arts and Sciences
In addition, the Department of Career Development and Placement
provides information and advice on procedures for admission, prepara-
tion of applications, and the scheduling of appropriate admissions tests.
For further information regarding the above, students should contact a
counselor in the Arts and Sciences Dean's Office.

Fine Arts
To try to define the boundaries of an academic discipline is to invite
controversy. This is nowhere more true than in the field of the arts.
However, one can say that the term "arts," used without qualification (as
in "Arts and Sciences"), refers to such disciplines as languages, litera-
ture, and philosophy that are presumed to develop general intellectual
ability and judgment and provide information of general cultural con-
cern.
Education in the arts is thus distinguishable from education in the
sciences — which emphasizes knowledge of objective facts and laws —
and especially from narrowly practical training, as for a particular profes-
sion such as law or medicine.
The term "Fine Arts" refers specifically to those disciplines concerned
primarily with works produced or intended for beauty rather than mere
utility. Thus, the term includes (but is not limited to) activities such as
sculpture, painting and drawing, and, often, architecture, drama, music,
and the dance.
in the College of Arts and Sciences, the major disciplines comprising
the Fine Arts division are as follows:

Professional Preparation
Aims The visual arts, our oldest form of artistic expression, offer a
deeper understanding of humanity and the cultural forces that have
affected us historically. Moreover, as visual communication becomes
more widespread in the contemporary world, the use and understanding
of visual language must be seen as a necessary part of the educational
process.
In view of this, the aim of the Department is threefold: (1) to introduce
art and architecture both as history and as creative activity in the context
of a broad liberal arts education; (2) to offer a more focused study of the
visual arts through a critical examination of both the language and con-
tent of art and architecture in the context of a particular historical period,
or through the hands-on experience of a studio setting; and (3) to pro-
vide an opportunity for a solid academic foundation to those who wish
to pursue a career in art and architecture, or related fields.
One of the main resources of the Department is Boston itself, whose
architecture spans three hundred years, whose museums are world fa-
mous, whose galleries and cinemas offer the latest in their respective
areas, and whose public library is one of the best of its kind. Learning to
use these resources systematically is an all-embracing aim of the De-
partment.
Description of the Major The Department offers three concentrations
within the major; (1) history of art and architecture, (2) studio art, and (3)
architecture. Courses in the history of art and architecture cover the
major periods of the Western World from Ancient to Modern, with a focus
on nineteenth- and twentieth-century Europe and America.
The studio concentration includes painting, drawing, printmaking, ar-
chitecture, film, and photography. Studio courses are complemented by
courses offered in the theory and criticism of these art forms. The best
work created in the studio courses is exhibited in the annual student
show at the University Art Gallery.
The architecture concentration consists of courses in the history and
theory of architecture and architectural design. Except for Introduction
to Architectural Design, all design courses are to be taken at the Boston
Architectural Center at 320 Newbury Street, Boston.
A View of the Major The Department offers both a Bachelor of Arts
degree and a Bachelor of Science degree program. In both programs
the requirements for the major are the two-part survey course in art
history, twelve electives in art and/or architecture, plus one elective each,
in music and philosophy and two in history. With prior approval, art
Art and Architecture / 27
courses not offered by the Department may be taken in one of the
neighboring art schools or universities.
Majors may pursue either a four-year full-time program or a five-year
cooperative plan of study, Transfer from one to the other is possible, and
registration in either can be reversed. Cooperative work assignments
include positions in museums, libranes, histoncal collections, archives,
and the Northeastern University Art Gallery.
A View of the Minor The Department offers a minor program for stu-
dents majoring in other fields of study. The program consists of a general
minor and the following four concentrations: history of painting, architec-
ture, film and photography, and studio art. The number of courses re-
quired for the minor does not exceed seven. Students interested in the
minor program should consult the Department.

Professional Preparation
Alms Music speaks directly to the soul. The experience of the nnaster-
works of the musical art is one of the cornerstones of a humanistic
education.
The primary aim of the Department of Music is to foster the aesthetic
appreciation of music by giving students the opportunity to gain the
knowledge and skills necessary to understand and intelligently evaluate
a musical composition.
Courses are offered in the areas of general appreciation, music theory,
the history of music (both Western and non-Western), applied music
lessons, and aspects of the music industry. Performing ensembles di-
rected by full-time music faculty provide the opportunity for students to
experience first-hand the music which they have studied in the class-
room. Furthermore, an extensive concert series offers a varied program
of performances on campus by faculty, students, and guest artists.
Description of the Major The Music Department offers a variety of
options for the prospective musician. While the core of the program is
the study of music, students can concentrate in a vahety of sub-special-
ties such as World Music, African-American Music, Music and Technol-
ogy, the Music Industry, Music Therapy, and Performance.
The Music major is divided into two areas. In the first area, the histori-
cal development of the great music literature of Western civilization is
traced. The second area is comprised of a series of theory courses
encompassing ear-training, keyboard skills, and analytic techniques.
Students have use of Northeastern's modern facilities, which include a
piano laboratory and a fully-equipped listening center.
A View of the Major For the B.A. degree program in music, students
must complete four courses in music theory, five courses in music his-
tory, one course in keyboard proficiency, and two courses in musical
analysis. Students must take a minimum of three electives in music, as
well as three courses in Western Civilization, Art, and Drama. The re-
mainder of the student's course work is selected from a broad base of
electives in the College Core Curriculum.
Music/ 29
A View of the Minor The Department offers a minor in Music for stu-
dents majoring in other fields of study. The program consists of three
courses in music theory, two courses in music history, one course in
keyboard proficiency, and one elective in music.

Professional Preparation
Aims Theatre, one of the most ancient of all art forms, is still a moving
force in our society because it uniquely involves both the performer and
the spectator to a degree unmatched by most creative and communi-
cative arts.
At Northeastern, students in the Theatre and Dance Department have
the opportunity to enroll in a program of study that provides a balance
betv\/een theory/history/literature courses and studio rehearsal and per-
formance vuork. The curricula provide the student with the opportunity to
obtain the background for advanced study on a graduate level or for a
career in the professional theatre.
Description of the IVIajor The undergraduate theatre major will be
introduced to the total theatre experience. A diverse core program, con-
sisting of twelve courses, is designed to develop understanding of the
essentials necessary as a foundation upon which to elect one of the
following seven concentrations: Acting, Sce'^.ic Design, Costume De-
sign, Lighting Design, Literature/Cnticism, Dance, or Generalist Concen-
tration.
The classroom and stages are viewed as laboratories where theory is
tested in rehearsal and performance. To enrich the means of perfor-
mance, the facilities and faculty of other art departments — Music and
Art and Architecture — are drawn upon. Theatre majors are encouraged
to express individual creative and interpretative impulses, and with the
support of a faculty adviser are often able to perform a variety of projects
of their own initiation in areas of acting, directing, playwriting, design, or
performance art.
A View of the IVIajor The difference between the B.A. degree and the
B.S. degree is one of flexibility and concentration. The B.S. degree al-
lows the substitution of specialized field courses for certain of the Col-
lege's general and language requirements.
Besides completing the required courses offered by the College of
Arts and Sciences toward a degree program, and before focusing on
further course work within any particular concentration, all majors in all
concentrations except Dance must complete forty-eight quarter hours of
the departmental core, which includes such courses as Introduction to
Acting, Concepts of Directing, Stagecraft, Introduction to Theatre De-
sign, and Introduction to Art, Drama, and Music. Theatre majors with a
Dance Concentration, before focusing on further course work within this
Concentration, must complete a core of forty-seven quarter hours. In
addition to various technique classes in Ballet, Jazz Dance, Modern
Theatre and Dance/ 31
Dance, and Choreography, the following are just some of the courses in
the core of the Dance Concentration: Dance in the Twentieth Century,
Anatomy/Physiology, Kinesiology, and Dance in Cultural Perspective.
The theatre represents the major public laboratory to the major, a
place where theory is put into practice. All majors are expected to work
in production each quarter in residence and fulfill a variety of crew
assignments in construction, painting, sound, lighting, costuming, and
box office work, as well as crew assignments for the running of a show.
Whenever possible, majors are expected to serve as stage managers
and assistant stage managers. Appearing in a production is not a sub-
stitute for crew work and, when reasonably possible, all those concen-
trating in a performance aspect should also participate in crew activities.
It is also recommended that Theatre majors take a Physical Education
skill course during each of the quarters in residence. The following
courses, when available, are recommended: Modern Dance, Ballet,
Jazz Dance, Tumbling, Gymnastics, Fencing, and Physical Condition-
ing.
Description of the Minor Students majoring in other departments may
choose a minor in Theatre to complement their academic majors or to
assist them in developing career goals by taking eight courses (thirty-
two quarter hours). Closely supervised by a departmental faculty ad-
viser, students may follow programs of study that offer a generalized or
a specialized program. Specialized areas are in Acting, Scenic Design,
Costume Design, Lighting Design, and Literature and Criticism.
Accreditation Basic course work offered by this department adheres
to the suggested minimum requirements for a Theatre degree as put
forth by the American Theatre Association and enables the diligent stu-
dent to prepare for the Graduate Placement Examination in Theatre.

Humanities
The Humanities are those disciplines concerned with human beings and
their cultures — especially subjective aspects of cultures, which invest
life with meaning and value. Examples are the disciplines of languages
and literature, and philosophy and religion.
The Humanities are distinguished from the Social Sciences, which
tend to focus on objective aspects of societies and on individual rela-
tionships in, and to, society. This distinction, however, is helpful only if
used with reservations. Most humanistic disciplines do not neatly con-
form to one simple description or the other.
In the broadest terms, of course, the Humanities can be viewed as
encompassing the Fine Arts. This is because a sense of aesthetics is
among the most basic of human values. As a result, all cultures are
centrally concerned with issues of form and beauty.
In the College of Arts and Sciences, the major disciplines comprising
the Humanities division are as follows:

Professional Preparation
Aims The English Department curriculum is diverse in its aims and
flexible in its design. For the general University community, the curricu-
lum offers possibilities in creative, expository, and technical writing; lin-
guistics; and American, British, and foreign literature. For the
preprofessional student — in law, medicine, business, engineering, or
computer science — it offers a broad intellectual and cultural frame for
specialist concerns. For the minor in English, it offers the possibility of
concentration in literature, writing, or technical writing to supplement the
major concerns of other disciplines. For the major in English, it offers the
opportunity to prepare for careers in teaching and research, advertising
and publishing, radio and television — indeed, any field in which com-
munication and judgment go hand in hand.
At a time when the price of imprecision in language is more than
simple misunderstanding, and the cost of changing values more than
34 / College of Arts and Sciences
personal uncertainty, the study of literature provides "a monnentary stay
against confusion." It deals with the hard edge of being, an insight into
the ways of men and women, at once clear and complex. In fact, the
very structure of literature gives shape and meaning to the often formless
experiences of life. And it does so with grace and force. Put another
way, literature "tells it like it is," not statistically, not abstractly, but with
the details of fully realized people in accessible worlds, in "imaginary
gardens with real toads in them."
Description of the Major There is flexibility enough in the curriculum
requirements and its details to accommodate the pace and interest of a
wide range of students. Members of the Department are available
throughout the year to help and advise students, but the critical choices
rest essentially with the student. The American literature requirement, for
example, may be met by successfully completing courses from among
such recent offerings as Major American Novels, The New England Re-
naissance, American Realism, and American Romanticism. To this area,
as to others, the Department regularly adds new courses and, hence,
even more options.
A View of the IWajor The curriculum for the major in English allows the
student to take a wide vanety of courses while maintaining a strong
background in the history of British and American literature. After com-
pleting the freshman requirement, the English major takes survey
courses, area courses (in language or writing, British literature, Ameri-
can literature, major figure, genre), other electives, and, finally, a Junior-
Senior Seminar as the culmination of study. A student has the opportu-
nity to study science fiction, Kurt Vonnegut, topics in film, or children's
literature, as well as Shakespeare, early American literature. Romantic
poetry, and topics in literary criticism. In an effort to be responsive to the
individual interests and academic needs of a particular student, inde-
pendent study also may be arranged with an English instructor.
A View of the IVIinor Students who would like to minor in English may
choose the minor in literature or in writing, either expository or creative.
There is also a minor in technical communication which is described in
the Special Programs section of this publication. Within each minor, the i
student may select an individual course of study with the help of an
English Department adviser.

Professional Preparation
Alms The Department of Journalism offers students the opportunity to
prepare themselves for productive careers in print and broadcast news
media, advertising, and public relations. It emphasizes professional
skills in information gathering, writing, editing, photography, and design
and graphics that may be applied to numerous fields.
The Department also seeks to contribute to the existing body of knowl-
edge in journalism/mass communications, especially knowledge which
will help news media practitioners and educators perform their jobs with
increasing effectiveness.
Career Opportunities Journalism offers many exciting, rewarding ca-
reer opportunities. Northeastern University journalism graduates work
for daily and weekly newspapers, news departments of radio and tele-
vision stations, wire services, general and specialized magazines, pub-
lic relations departments, and advertising agencies.
A View of the l\/lajor A journalist should have a broad background of
liberal arts courses on the undergraduate level, a need that most univer-
sity journalism programs have long recognized. The student should have
professional courses but not to the point of overspecialization.
The generally accepted formula for the bachelor's degree in journal-
ism is a combination of 75 percent arts and sciences courses and 25
percent professional courses. The ideal schedule is one or two journal-
ism courses each quarter, with additional work in the humanities, social
sciences, physical sciences, and economics.
Because journalism skills can be better expanded and understood
with the aid of a laboratory, upperclass journalism majors are encour-
aged to participate in the Cooperative Plan of Education. Co-op assign-
ments with newspapers, radio and television stations, news bureaus,
advertising agencies, and public relations offices provide a practical
laboratory experience important in helping students prepare themselves
for careers in mass communications. In addition, such experience offers
the student an advantage if he or she decides to seek admission to a
graduate program.
All majors in this department complete a journalism core program that
includes History of Journalism, Journalism Ethics, Newswriting, Editing,
Law of the Press, and Photojournalism. In addition, each major takes
courses in one of four concentrations — Newspaper/Print Media, Radio-
Television News, Advertising, or Public Relations — according to his or
her career objective.

Professional Preparation
Alms The study of Modern Languages can be of value to all students,
regardless of their major fields of interest. In the complex and rapid pace
of modern life, there is a need for increased communication between
varied and often divergent cultures, even those within the narrow con-
fines of one's own community. To better understand and appreciate
these cultures, it is very important to know the ways in which the mem-
bers of the culture think.
As the principal means of communication, language frequently offers
the key to understanding. Thus, language may serve to help one achieve
a more cosmopolitan, open-minded, and sensitive view of the world.
The Department offers opportunities for background preparation for
students interested in elementary, secondary school, or college teach-
ing; international business relations; high-tech; government service;
journalism; library science; world affairs; travel; and community service
(especially in Spanish-speaking areas). Those who wish to teach in col-
lege must plan on graduate study.
Description of the Major Available in French, German, Italian, Rus-
sian, or Spanish, the major in Modern Languages normally requires
advanced courses in two languages. The freshman year usually is con-
sidered a year to establish the basic foundation upon which the major
will be formed. It should be utilized to fulfill as many general require-
ments as possible so that during the upperclass years more time can be
devoted to the major discipline.
Normally the study of a second (minor) language begins in the second
year. However, in exceptional cases, this pattern may be altered to per-
mit students to begin their second language in the freshman year or,
perhaps, postpone it to a later year. The Modern Language major should
plan to take at least two language electives per quarter from the begin-
ning of the second year. Again, of course, this pattern may be varied to
fit the needs of the individual student.
It should be noted that the requirements indicated here for the major
and minor languages are mininnum requirements. When at all possible,
a student is strongly encouraged to go beyond them, and even, per-
haps, to pursue a third language.
38 / College of Arts and Sciences
The Department is currently designing a one-language major. Stu-
dents are urged to consult their departmental advisers for further infor-
mation concerning this program and other possible curriculum changes.
A View of the Major The Department offers a choice of either a Bach-
elor of Arts or a Bachelor of Science degree. For either degree, the
student must select a major as well as a minor language from French,
German, Italian, Russian, or Spanish. Both degrees require Freshman
English.
The B.A. is, of course, the traditional degree of this discipline. Candi-
dates for the B.A. must satisfy the College requirements for graduation
and, in addition, must meet the departmental requirements in their major.
These requirements are sixteen quarter hours in history (any history
courses relevant to the major are acceptable), eight quarter hours of
Survey of English Literature, a minimum of thirty-two quarter hours of
advanced work in the major language, and eight quarter hours of ad-
vanced work in the minor language. Advanced work may be defined as
any course beyond the intermediate level of the language.
The Bachelor of Science degree in Modern Languages differs from
the B.A. primarily in its emphasis. Whereas the B.A. requires that the
student satisfy the full general requirements of the College of Arts and
Sciences, the B.S. waives certain of these requirements in favor of a
more concentrated program in the major area.
In addition, the candidate for the B.S. degree must complete eight
quarter hours of composition and conversation in the major language
and eight quarter hours of composition and conversation in the minor
language. Candidates then must complete forty additional quarter hours
of advanced work in the major language and sixteen additional quarter
credits of advanced work in the minor.
Description of the Minor For students interested in acquiring profi-
ciency in one foreign language as an adjunct to their major, the Depart-
ment offers a minor in f\/!odern Languages, open to students of all
colleges. The details of the requirements for a minor vary slightly from
language to language, but, in all cases, the student is required to take a
total of six courses. Generally, two composition and conversation
courses, a civilization course, and an introductory course in literature
are required. The remaining courses are free electives drawn from ad-
vanced courses offered by the Department.
Students are urged to consult the Department adviser for further infor-
mation about the minor.
Additional Information In the basic language courses, attendance in
the language laboratory is required for two half-hour sessions per week.
The facilities of the language laboratory are also available on an optional
basis for advanced work. The Department lounge is available to Modern
Language students. See page 81 for information on courses in Amencan
Sign Language.

Professional Preparation
Aims Philosophy deals with a wide range of questions and issues
generated by various aspects of human experience, by the beliefs and
theories people hold, and by the practical problems human beings con-
front. Philosophy includes both questions and theories related to art,
religion, morality, society, and natural and social sciences. Because of
the breadth of its concerns, the study of philosophy provides a unique
opportunity for students to examine their beliefs in many areas through
critical reflection.
Through readings, discussion, and writing, philosophy students can
encounter and examine questions concerning the nature and validity of
religious beliefs, moral judgments, and scientific theories, as well as
questions of values and social policy in such areas as law, medicine,
and technology. In all these areas, analysis of issues and evaluation of
arguments provide an opportunity to understand diverse claims to
knowledge and areas of controversy.
The program includes courses that may help strengthen the student's
work in other areas and provide an understanding of the methods and
traditions of philosophical and religious thought. A major in Philosophy
may also help a student to acquire a broad background in the humani-
ties and to sharpen his or her critical abilities in preparation for graduate
or professional study in many areas. Indeed, former Philosophy majors
can be found in the most diverse of professional careers. For students
majoring in another discipline, the Department offers a minor program,
which can be a valuable supplement to most fields.
The program in Religion offers students the opportunity to acquire an
understanding of religious experience, both as an individual response
and within its social, historical, literary, and political context. Specific
religions (Christian, Jewish, Hindu, etc.) are studied as well as the myth-
ical and mystical dimensions of religious experience in general. The
program strives to clarify the relation between the religious experience
and other facets of human life that are the concern of both the liberal
arts and the professions. Although a major is not offered in Religion, the
program attempts to provide a basic introduction to religious studies.
Both introductory and intermediate-level courses are offered.
40 / College of Arts and Sciences
Description of the Major Northeastern's program for a Philosophy
major is designed to offer students a balanced understanding of the
nature of philosophy and particular philosophical problems that arise in
the various arts and sciences. A maximum number of electives has been
provided so that students may choose in accordance with their own
backgrounds and interests. Students may pursue either a five-year co-
operative or a four-year full-time course of study.
All degree candidates in Philosophy must take at least eight quarter
hours in English and fifty-two quarter hours in the Department and must
meet the following specific requirements;
1 . Classical Greek Philosophy and Modern Philosophy
2. Introduction to Logic or Symbolic Logic (The Department emphat-
ically recommends that students contemplating graduate studies
in Philosophy take Symbolic Logic.)
3. Theory of Knowledge or Metaphysics or Moral Philosophy and
4. At least one seminar
5. Thirty-two quarter hours of Philosophy electives, to be selected
after consultation with the student's departmental adviser.
Description of the Minor To attempt to meet the needs of students
who are majoring in other areas but have a special interest in Philosophy,
the Department offers a minor in Philosophy. The program contains an
essential core of courses, as well as a great range of electives to accom-
modate individual interests.
Specific requirements:
1 . An introduction to philosophy course;
2. Either Classical Greek Philosophy or Modern Philosophy;
3. Either Introductory Logic or Symbolic Logic;
4. Either Moral Philosophy or Theory of Knowledge or Metaphysics
or Philosophy of Mind;
5. Three electives in Philosophy to bring the total number of quarter
hours in Philosophy to twenty-eight.

Professional Preparation
Aims The Department of Speech Communication seeks to help stim-
ulate the personal and professional growth of the student through a
study of the pnnciples and methods of communication.
Courses are designed to aid students in understanding the commu-
nication process and the roles of communication in society. The Speech
Communication program also helps students to increase their self-
awareness and heighten personal development by offering theoretical
and experiential learning opportunities.
More than twenty-five courses in such areas as persuasion, group
discussion and conference techniques, interpersonal communication,
mass media, broadcasting, communication theory, and public address
are designed to meet the needs of students, whether majoring or minor-
ing in Speech Communication or selecting courses for personal devel-
opment to supplement professional training in other fields.
Description of the IVIajor The objectives of the Speech Communica-
tion major are threefold:
1 . To stimulate the student's personal growth and development in
perception and self-expression through the study of historical,
contemporary, and artistic aspects of speech and communication,
and to provide organized knowledge and critical insight;
2. To help prepare the student for professions that require both a
theoretical and a technical knowledge of communication, such as
broadcasting, the law, government service, public relations, ad-
vertising, social service, industrial communication, and similar
fields;
3. To help prepare the student for advanced graduate study in com-
munication and other professional fields.
A View of the IVIajor Students may receive either a B.A. or B.S. degree
through concentrations related to mass communication, interpersonal
communication, organizational communication, communication re-
search, communication theory, advocacy, and public address. Through
selection of the appropriate concentration within the Department and
complementary elective courses in other departments, students are af-
forded considerable flexibility in tailoring their programs to satisfy their
personal and professional needs.
To further provide for the unique needs of students with specialized
interests or professional goals, the Department offers directed-study and
internship programs. Virtually every Speech Communication major com-
pletes one or more projects in each of these programs.
42 / College of Arts and Sciences
In directed study, the student works closely with a chosen faculty
adviser while connpleting a student-selected research or performance
project. Generally commensurate with the workload of a one-quarter
course, directed-study projects deal with such areas as surveying and
interpreting communicative behavior, studies of the rhetoric of political
campaigns, or the effects of the media on society.
The internship program offers students the opportunity for profes-
sional development through field experiences designed to complement
or implement their classroom training. Distinct from the Co-op Plan, the
internship program provides academic credit for unpaid, part-time, on-
site activities, during the student's academic quarters. Internships, care-
fully selected by the student and faculty advisers with an understanding
based on the student's goals, often result in the student's placement in
active roles in commercial broadcasting studios, advertising firms, and
governmental agencies.
Description of the l\/linor Students majoring in such fields as Political
Science, Business, and Human or Social Services or Education may
develop a minor that complements their academic major by selecting
appropriate courses with the aid of a Speech Communication faculty
adviser.
Basic theoretical competence and personal skills in the areas of intra-
personal, interpersonal, group, organizational, and public communica-
tion may be acquired by taking the following four core courses required
of all minors: Introduction to Communication Theory, Business and
Professional Speaking, Interpersonal Communication I, and Group Dis-
cussion.
Individual needs and specific goals may be satisfied by selecting
three additional electives with the approval of the Speech Communica-
tion faculty. Recommended elective groupings have been developed for
students concentrating in Management, Marketing, Elementary or Sec-
ondary Education, Human or Social Services, Political Science, Sociol-
ogy, Psychology, and Journalism.

Natural Sciences and Mathematics
The natural sciences are disciplines based chiefly on objective, quanti-
tative hypotheses that can be confirmed or refuted by experimentation
involving numerical measurements. These disciplines are sometimes
referred to as the "exact sciences." However, that may be somewhat
misleading, since controlled approximations are more characteristic of
them than exactness.
The older term used for the natural sciences (in the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries) was "natural philosophy." This embraced the
physical and life sciences as well as mathematics. The great treatise of
Isaac Newton, which altered completely the understanding of the phys-
ical universe, was titled Philosophiae naturalis prlncipia mathematica
(Latin for Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy).
Although mathematics is not confined to the study of nature as such —
having more basic roots in subjective thought than in objective reality —
it is nearly always grouped with the natural sciences. Indeed, mathe-
matics is sometimes referred to as the "queen and servant of the sci-
ences."
In the College of Arts and Sciences, the major disciplines comprising
the Natural Sciences and Mathematics Division are as follows:

Professional Preparation
Alms The Biology major offers students the opportunity to develop a
basic understanding of the organization and the processes of life, from
the level of molecules and cells through the level of organs and organ
systems to the level of populations, species, ecosystems, and evolution.
The major also offers the mathematical, chemical, and physical back-
ground necessary to understand biology and to help train students in
practical scientific skills associated with each of these areas of study.
Finally, it allows students to begin to specialize in a subdiscipline of
biology.
Description of the Major The major consists of ten biology courses in
addition to those required in chemistry, physics, and mathematics. Six
of the biology courses constitute the required "Biocore": Principles of
Biology I, II, and III; Environmental and Population Biology; Genetics and
Developmental Biology; and Cell Physiology and Biochemistry. The
other four biology courses for the major may be chosen from a variety of
upperclass biology electives which require some or all of the "Biocore"
as prerequisites. It is usually possible to follow the prescribed sequence
if a student has decided on the major in the freshman or sophomore
year. For students who may enter the major in the middler year, it is often
possible to complete the major in the normal time by taking some of the
electives concurrently with the latter, "Biocore" courses.
To graduate with a major in Biology, a student must have a cumulative
Quality Point Average (QPA) of 2.0 for all science and mathematics
courses required for the major. There are two programs within the Biol-
ogy major, one leading to the Bachelor of Arts degree and the other to
the Bachelor of Science degree. Both the B.A. and the B.S. degrees
require a modern language. The B.S. program is more rigorous and
Biology / 45
extensive in its mathematics and science requirements and thus may
offer better preparation for some areas of postgraduate study. The dif-
ference is mainly one of emphasis, however.
After completing the "Biocore," students interested in independent
research may arrange with individual faculty to undertake Directed
Study; if eligible, they may be invited to undertake a more extensive
Honors Program involving up to four quarters of research.
The Department publishes a booklet, The Biology Undergraduate Ad-
visory Book, which explains the required and recommended courses
and the QPA standards in science for Biology majors. The Advisory Book
is available in the Biology Office, Room 403, Richards Hall. Students
intending to major in Biology should obtain a copy as early as possible
after their enrollment at Northeastern. Biology majors wishing to pursue
a minor in another field should see their biology adviser as early in their
program as possible, for coordination of major and minor requirements.
A View of the Major The Biology major provides an opportunity for
excellent preparation in a wide variety of careers or professions in the
life sciences, including medical, dental, and other health-related profes-
sions. Graduate study leading to a master's or doctoral degree can open
careers in upper-level teaching and/or research in one of the specialized
areas of biology, such as zoology, botany, microbiology, physiology,
ecology, marine biology, cell biology, or biochemistry. Biology majors
may also pursue postgraduate training in such health-related areas as
nutrition, public health, or medical technology.
Biology majors not wishing to enter professional or graduate schools
may find employment on technical levels in federal, state, industrial,
hospital, or university laboratories doing research, survey, or quality con-
trol in a biological area. After graduation they may also be able to enter
directly into positions in industries involved in the manufacture and dis-
tribution of pharmaceuticals, biological products, food, or scientific
equipment. Many biologists are employed at all levels in fisheries, for-
estry services, county agencies, museums, aquariums, research ves-
sels, and marine stations.
Preprofessional students (for example, premedical or predental) are
urged to consult with the preprofessional advisory committee early in
their careers at Northeastern. Students are cautioned that the successful
completion of the required preprofessional courses by no means en-
sures admission to a professional school since other factors are also
Involved.
Description of the Minor A minor in Biology consists of any six biology
courses for which the student has the prerequisites, plus two more
courses which may be biology courses or courses from other depart-
ments that serve as prerequisites for Biology courses. At least five of the
total eight courses must include laboratory, and a student may not count
toward the Biology minor more than one course, or course sequence,
that covers substantially the same material.
To accommodate the needs of students majoring in many different
fields, the Biology minor requirements have been phrased in a very
general and flexible way. To ensure that course selection is sound and
appropriate to the student's background, each student's Biology minor
46 /College of Arts and Sciences ■
program must receive the signed approval of the Biology minors' ad-
viser. The student should obtain this required approval of his/her pro-
gram before the start or, at the latest, by the end of the first biology
course. Failure to do so may result in courses' not being counted for a
minor, if the adviser finds them to have been inappropriate selections.
The academic standards for a minor in Biology are the same as those
for a Biology major; namely, a QPA of 2.0 must be achieved for those
courses used to satisfy the minor requirements. Courses taken on a
pass/fail basis are not acceptable for minor credit.
Suggested course groupings for a Biology minor have been devel-
oped for students with different backgrounds in college mathematics
and science. The "core" minor for students with considerable course
work in mathematics, chemistry, or physics provides the basic founda-
tion on which a Biology major is built, without advanced specialization.
For students with less or no college mathematics/science background,
three other minor options provide the opportunity for first-level exposure
to the basic pnnciples of Biology, plus an opportunity to achieve some
advanced specialization in plant and/or animal studies or to explore
human biology, molecular biology, biochemistry, and the problems of
the environment. For further information, consult with the Biology minors'
adviser.
Laboratories
The Biology Department has specially equipped teaching laboratories
for general biology, botany, anatomy, microbiology, microscopy, physi-
ology, zoology, and cell biology. Equipment for field work, museum
specimens, models, charts, and closed-circuit television are employed
in laboratory instruction. Additional facilities include aquarium and ani-
mal rooms, stockrooms, preparation rooms, research areas, a vertebrate
museum, and a large suburban greenhouse and woodlot. The Depart-
ment has close association with the University's Marine Science and
Maritime Studies Center in Nahant and with the University's Electron
Microscopy Center.

Professional Preparation
Alms The educational objectives of the Chemistry Department are to
give students the opportunity to (1) experience the intellectual stimula-
tion of studying a physical science; (2) grasp the basic pnnciples and
techniques that are central to a variety of chemistry-related careers; and
(3) prepare for graduate study in chemistry or related fields. These ob-
jectives are implemented by the Department's highly research-oriented
faculty, including leaders in various fields of the science.
Description of the Major Chemistry is concerned with the structure
and properties of substances and with the transformations they undergo.
The undergraduate program leads to either a B.A. or a B.S. degree in
Chemistry. It is relatively small, having a combined total of about sixty
undergraduates throughout all levels. Class sizes, too, are not large. For
example, the typical size of the freshman Chemistry course given to
chemistry and other science majors is about forty students. The upper-
class chemistry major courses are generally smaller. All of the courses
are taught by full-time chemistry faculty members, and there is consid-
erable opportunity for direct interaction between faculty and students.
Both the chemistry curriculum and the departmental facilities are ap-
proved by the American Chemical Society (A.C.S.); thus, the B.S. de-
gree which we award is A.C.S. certified and therefore carnes national
recognition for quality.
Modern chemistry is the cornerstone for a large number of professions
and industries. Challenging career opportunities exist in almost all tech-
nical fields in which functions such as research, development, produc-
tion, sales, market analysis, quality control, and management are
involved. Tfie Chemistry major programs offer the students an excellent
opportunity for preparation In the study of medicine, dentistry, and for
advanced study in many fields of science. For students who choose to
48 / College of Arts and Sciences
participate in the Cooperative Plan of Education there can be additional
professional benefits. The practical experience gained on a job can
place chemistry in a more realistic perspective than academic training
alone and may help students to prepare themselves for better employ-
ment prospects upon graduation.
The Department publishes an informational booklet, Chemistry at
Northeastern, which describes the Chemistry major curriculum and re-
quirements in detail. Interested students may obtain a copy of this book-
let in the main office of the Chemistry Department, Room 1 02, Hurtig Hall
or from the Department of Admissions, 150 Richards Hall.
A View of the Major The Department offers two major programs that
lead to the B.S. or B.A. degree. Both are based normally on the five-year
cooperative-study plan, but academically equivalent four-year study op-
tions are available. The two degree curricula differ mainly in their arts
and sciences content and advanced science course requirements. De-
partmental advisers are ready to provide assistance and counseling to
all Chemistry majors in relation to course selections and other profes-
sional matters.
The Chemistry major programs at Northeastern are based on a career-
oriented concept. The basic core of courses in chemistry, mathematics,
and physics may be supplemented with selected courses in other areas.
Thus, the program offers the student an opportunity to prepare for any
one of a wide variety of careers. Alumni have pursued careers in many
areas, such as:
— The health professions (medicine, dentistry)
— Professional and technical employment in industry
— Chemical sales and management
— Teaching and research via graduate study
— Clinical chemistry, medicinal chemistry, and pharmaceutical
chemistry
— Geochemistry, mineralogy, and environmental chemistry
— Forensic chemistry
Departmental advisers suggest various course options for students
interested in preparing for any of the above careers. The vanety of
careers open to persons with strong backgrounds in chemistry is exten-
sive, and other options can be constructed from the large number of
courses offered at the University.
A large part of the curriculum is common to all options. It consists of
courses in English, calculus, physics, and basic chemistry, which are
taken in the freshman year. Students may be exempted from the General
Chemistry courses by passing equivalency tests; in this case other
courses are substituted. In the upperclass years, students take courses
in organic, inorganic, physical, and analytical chemistry. For the B.S.
degree, some additional advanced mathematics and science courses
are required. German or Russian is strongly recommended for students
who plan to pursue graduate study in the sciences.
Qualified students are encouraged to undertake a research project
under the supervision of a faculty member. An honors program is open
to especially able students.
Description of the Minor A minor program in Chemistry is available
for students majoring in other fields. It consists of courses in general,
analytical, organic, and physical chemistry. Further information may be
obtained from the Chemistry Department Office, Room 102, Hurtig Hall.

Accreditation
The Chemistry programs at Northeastern are approved by the Americari
Chemical Society. The B.S. degree meets the Society's requirements for
certification, which means that a certified graduate is eligible for full
membership in the A.C.S. after two years of experience.
Facilities and Research
The mam facilities of the Chemistry Department are housed in Hurtig
Hall, a modern, air-conditioned, five-story building that contains equip-
ment for up-to-date teaching and research. Faculty offices are located
there, as is the James Flack Norris Room, which serves as a lounge for
undergraduate Chemistry majors. Additional research facilities are lo-
cated in the Forsyth Building and in the Institute of Chemical Analysis,
Applications, and Forensic Science. The Department's major research
equipment includes electron microscopes, mass spectrometers, lasers.
X-ray diffractometers, nuclear magnetic-resonance and electron spin-
resonance spectrometers, Gouy and Faraday magnetic balances,
Mossbauer spectrometers, and a variety of ultraviolet and infrared spec-
trometers. Undergraduate students taking advanced courses or working
on research projects may utilize certain of these instruments.
Active research programs are under way in synthetic and mechanistic
organic chemistry, natural products chemistry, inorganic chemistry,
chemical oceanography, photochemistry, and spectroscopy, theoretical
chemistry, analytical chemistry, separation science, and solid-state
chemistry.

Professional Preparation
Aims The Department of Earth Sciences offers a degree program in
geology as an in-depth study of a major area of the earth sciences, as
well as courses in geology, oceanography, and astronomy, which are
available to all students.
Description of the Geology Major Geology is a broad-based science
that deals with the study of the physical features, composition, history,
and processes of the earth. The study of geology, however, also de-
mands an understanding of the application of scientific knowledge to
current problems and concerns. For example, the manufacture of an
enormous number of products composed of metals and petroleum de-
rivatives is a primary basis of the economy of our society. Understanding
the origins of these natural resources and the ways in which to ensure
their continued supply is, therefore, one of the major roles of today's
geologists. Only a small portion of the earth has been studied in detail,
leaving many unexplored frontiers for each new graduate in the field.
A View of the Major Since the study of geology utilizes principles of
other physical sciences, students should complete basic courses in
chemistry, physics, and mathematics along with Physical and Historical
Geology during their first two years. After completing the introductory
geology courses and one year of chemistry, every Geology major takes
a three-course sequence — Descriptive Mineralogy, Optical Crystallog-
raphy, and Optical Mineralogy — since a knowledge of minerals is fun-
damental to geological understanding. In addition to the required
introductory and mineralogy courses, the student chooses a minimum
of six (for the B.A. degree) or eight (for the B.S. degree) additional
geology courses. There are also electives required in the areas of the
humanities and social sciences.
Each student is assigned to an adviser in the Department. The adviser
assists students in making appropriate course selections as their knowl-
edge increases and special interests develop. Though not required,
courses in petrology, structural geology, and paleontology are usually
among the electives chosen by undergraduates.
During the junior and senior years, students may select undergradu-
ate research as one of their elective courses. Under the supervision of a
faculty member, a problem is selected, defined, and researched. These
projects offer undergraduates the opportunity to go much more deeply
into some aspect of geology that holds particular interest for them. Stu-
dents who meet the college requirements for the honors program may
also be invited to carry out an undergraduate research project.
In addition to its major curriculum the Earth Sciences Department also
offers a minor program in Geology.
Earth Sciences / 51
Special Information
Field Trips Though much geology can be learned from textbooks and
in the laboratory, a sound geological education must also include first-
hand experience in the field and direct observation of geological phe-
nomena. Whenever it is appropriate, field work on an individual or group
basis will be part of courses.

Professional Preparation
Aims The Department offers interested students the opportunity to de-
velop and expand their abilities in this exact science, one of the oldest
and most basic of all the sciences.
Description of the Major The Department offers two programs of
study in mathematics. One of the programs in mathematics leads to a
Bachelor of Arts degree and requires a minimum of thirteen mathematics
courses. Students in the Bachelor of Arts program also must complete a
foreign language requirement. Because mathematics-related material is
more often written in French, German, Italian, or Russian, one of these
languages is recommended. The Department also offers a Bachelor of
Science degree program, which requires a minimum of sixteen mathe-
matics courses but does not require the study of a foreign language.
A View of the Major All students must take a basic sequence of math-
ematics courses, which, as a rule, should be completed by the end of
the sophomore year. The sequence offers students the opportunity to
Mathe.Tiatics / 53
acquire a working knowledge of the calculus of one and several varia-
bles, differential equations, some linear algebra, and numerical meth-
ods. With respect to the latter, although a computer programming course
is not required, students will be encouraged and eventually expected to
learn the basic programming skills necessary for numerical solutions of
complex problems.
A transition from the basic sequence to more advanced parts of the
curriculum is provided by Analysis l-ll and Advanced Linear Algebra I.
These courses are prerequisites for many advanced courses in applied
analysis, complex analysis, topology, and foundations.
As a rule, students planning to take a substantial number of mathe-
matics courses (e.g.. two per quarter) should take Analysis l-ll and Ad-
vanced Linear Algebra I in the middler year. Students may wish to take
a prerequisite for more advanced courses in algebra and/or one that
includes linear, nonlinear, and dynamic programming. Courses in prob-
ability, statistics, and numerical analysis may also be taken directly after
the basic sequence.
Double Majors It is possible for mathematics majors to follow pro-
grams leading to a double major in mathematics and another discipline
from the College of Arts and Sciences or the College of Computer Sci-
ence.

Professional Preparation
Aims Physics is concerned with the fundamental principles that gov-
ern natural phenomena, ranging in scale from collisions of subatomic
particles, through the behavior of solids and liquids, to exploding stars
and colliding galaxies.
Understanding these principles can help us unravel, explore, and
predict the basic phenomena and processes of not only physics, but
also of biology, chemistry, and the earth and space sciences. Such an
understanding will also help with the creation, development, and oper-
ation of a broad spectrum of micro and macro devices ranging from the
silicon chip electronic systems and lasers of today's high technology to
the more conventional mechanical and electrical instruments and ma-
chinery currently used in research and industrial organizations.
The educational objectives of the Physics undergraduate programs
are to provide students with the opportunity to
1 . experience the intellectual stimulation of studying science and,
specifically, physics and astrophysics;
2. experience, by association, the excitement of the front-line
research programs ongoing in the Department;
3. achieve an understanding of the basic principles and techniques
that are central to the broad array of physics-related careers;
4. prepare for graduate study in physics or related fields.
Physics / 55
To this end the Physics Department offers undergraduate courses at
four levels:
1 . descriptive courses intended primarily for nonscience majors with
limited mathematical backgrounds;
2. general survey courses intended for students in scientific and en-
gineering fields;
3. advanced courses focusing on particular areas of physics and
intended mainly, but not exclusively, for Physics majors; and
4. highly advanced courses intended mainly, but not exclusively, for
prospective graduate students in Physics.
Description of the Major Students who major in Physics are offered
the opportunity to prepare for a wide variety of careers. In addition to
work in industrial, government, and high-technology laboratories in
areas of applied physics, students who have mastered the fundamental
principles emphasized in a physics education may find opportunities in
allied fields, such as biophysics, computer sciences, geophysics, med-
ical and radiation physics, and various branches of engineering. Addi-
tionally, many students majoring in Physics go on to pursue advanced
degrees in physics and related fields.
A student majoring in Physics may follow either a four-year full-time
program or a five-year co-op program. The latter program allows stu-
dents to alternate between the classroom and off-campus work experi-
ences in research and professional organizations located not only in the
important high-technology centers in and around Boston, but elsewhere
in the United States. The co-op program enhances and complements
the educational process, and helps provide financial assistance and the
development of valuable career contacts with employers. In a number
of cases, students in the Physics major work on co-op with a high-
technology company, and then return to school and work with a related
aspect of one of the research programs of the Department either for
credit or as work-study.
A View of the IVIajor Physics majors may obtain one of three degrees,
the Bachelor of Arts in Physics, the Bachelor of Science in Physics, or
the Bachelor of Science in Applied Physics.
The first-year program for all Physics majors includes a three-quarter
physics sequence common to all science and mathematics majors, and
a three-quarter calculus sequence. The remaining courses in each quar-
ter of the freshman year can be chosen from a wide range of electives,
but generally students are advised to meet some of the core curnculum
requirements and perhaps to learn to use the computer.
Beyond the basic first year survey courses in physics and mathemat-
ics, B.A. students are required to pass the two second-year intermediate
physics courses, three upper-division lecture courses, three upper-
division laboratory courses, as well as one upper-division mathematics
elective. In addition, the College requirements must also be satisfied.
This program is extremely flexible and allows the B.A. Physics major to
pursue other interests in depth.
Candidates for either of the B.S. Physics degrees must complete the
two intermediate physics courses, the second year of the calculus se-
quence, and a year of differential equations. In addition, the B.S. candi-
dates must satisfy the appropriate college requirements.
56 / College of Arts and Sciences
Candidates for the B.S. in Physics must also complete seven upper-
division physics lecture courses, three upper-division physics laboratory
courses, and five additional technical electives (courses from the sci-
ences, mathematics, or engineering departments). The B.S. in Physics
program is most appropriate for those students who wish to pursue
graduate study in physics.
In addition to the common intermediate level courses described
above, candidates for the B.S. in Applied Physics degree must complete
three upper-division physics lecture courses, five upper-division physics
laboratory courses, three computer science courses, and four additional
technical electives. The B.S. in Applied Physics program is most appro-
priate for those students who expect to proceed directly to work after
the B.S. degree, or for those who expect to go to graduate school in
related fields.
The upper-division lecture courses offered by the Department include
Mechanics, Wave Motion and Optics, Thermodynamics, Electromag-
netic Theory, Quantum Mechanics, Mathematical Physics, Nuclear
Physics, Solid State Physics, Plasma Physics, and Astrophysics. The
upper-division laboratories include Wave Motion, two quarters of Elec-
tronics, a laboratory devoted to microcomputer programming and inter-
facing, and a special project laboratory in which the student designs
and carries out a complete project involving either some aspect of in-
strumentation or some aspect of computational physics. The courses
are all taught by active researchers in physics who have a strong com-
mitment to teaching. The upper-division courses are generally small (ten
to fifteen students).
There are regular lectures and colloquia in the Department, many of
which may be of interest to undergraduate students. In addition, there
are reading courses on special topics in physics.
Students interested in majoring in Physics should consult with one of
the Department advisers as early as possible in their college careers to
plan their programs.
Description of the Minors The Physics Department offers two minor
programs for students majoring in other fields: the Physics Minor and
the Instrumentation for Science Minor.
The Physics Minor program is designed to accommodate a wide va-
riety of interests while still providing a study of the fundamentals. To fulfill
the requirements of this minor, a student must take five intermediate
and/or advanced courses after completing introductory physics.
The Instrumentation for Science Minor is designed to provide a stu-
dent with experience in the use of common laboratory instruments, the
taking and the analysis of data, and elementary skills in electronics. A
major goal of the minor is to prepare the student to design and construct
relatively small scale special purpose measurement instrumentation. To
fulfill the requirements of the minor a student must take four intermediate
and/or advanced laboratory courses after completing introductory
physics.
Further information on the Minor Programs may be obtained from the
Physics Department Office, Room 112, Dana Research Center.
Physics / 57
Honors Program and
Undergraduate Research
Students invited into the Honors Program may take graduate courses,
reading courses, and special topics courses, by petition, in the various
research fields of the Department. Such work occasionally leads to pre-
sentation of papers at professional meetings and to publication in
professional journals.
Facilities and Research
The Physics Department is housed in the Dana Research Center, a
modern, air-conditioned building which includes its own library, research
laboratories. Department and student machine shops, electronics shop,
conference and seminar rooms, and faculty and graduate and under-
graduate student offices. The Department has its own computer facility,
housing a VAX 11/750 computer, as well as.PDP 11/24 and LSI 11/23
computers dedicated to physics research programs. In addition, a De-
partmental terminal cluster providing access to three VAX 11/780 units
of the University Computer Center is located in the Dana Center.
In addition to the research facilities on campus, faculty and graduate
students currently pursue their research at a variety of off-campus na-
tional and international facilities: astrophysics experiments at the NASA
Infrared Telescope Facility, Mauna Kea, Hawaii, at Kitt Peak National
Observatory, Tucson, Arizona, and at NRAO Very Large Array, Socorro,
New Mexico; high-energy physics experiments at the Stanford Linear
Accelerator Center (SLAC), Palo Alto, California, at CERN, Geneva, Swit-
zerland, and at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab),
Batavia, Illinois; high-magnetic field experiments at the National Magnet
Laboratory, Cambridge, Massachusetts; inelastic neutron scattering ex-
periments at the Brookhaven National Laboratory, New York, at the Oak
Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, Tennessee and at the Laue-
Langevin Institute, Grenoble, France.
The Department's full-time faculty are involved in a broad spectrum of
front-line experimental and theoretical programs in astrophysics, atomic,
and molecular physics, biophysics, elementary particle physics, and
solid state and low temperature physics. A full deschption of these pro-
grams may be obtained upon request to the Chairman of the Depart-
ment.

Social Sciences
The Social Sciences are disciplines involving the study of society as
such, as well as the social behavior of individuals and groups. In con-
trast to the approach used in the Humanities, the Social Sciences tend
to focus on objective aspects of societies. Measurement and testing,
and the statistical treatment of data, play a larger role in the Social
Sciences.
On the other hand, as mentioned before, this distinction is helpful only
if used with caution. In the final analysis, human beings and human
institutions cannot be studied without due attention to both subjective
and objective factors. For this reason, the dividing line between Human-
ities and Social Sciences cannot be drawn sharply.
In the College of Arts and Sciences, the major disciplines comprising
the Social Sciences are as follows:
African-American Studies page 59
Economics page 61
History page 63
Human Services* page 65
Linguistics page 67
Political Science page 70
Psychology page 72
Sociology/Anthropology page 75
* The Human Services major is offered jointly by the College of Arts and Sciences
and the Boston-Bouve College of Human Development Professions.

Professional Preparation
Aims African-American Studies at Northeastern University offers an
interdisciplinary study of the black experience with two central pur-
poses: (1) to provide academically rigorous and exciting courses for all
students interested in the field; and (2) to contribute to the students'
ability to develop analytical skills and to apply this learning, whatever
their disciplines or career objectives.
By presenting fresh perspectives while remaining firmly grounded in
traditional academic standards, the courses in African-American Studies
may aid the student to develop the skill of critical thinking, provide the
opportunity to gain a meaningful, liberal arts education, and help to form
a strong basis for professional or graduate work.
Students from other disciplines should find that the courses in African-
Amencan Studies are designed to complement and enrich their chosen
concentrations or majors.
Description of the Major A major in African-American studies offers
students the opportunity to prepare themselves for a wide range of
professions calling for an understanding of intergroup relations and the
minority experience. Students may go on to graduate study in such
areas as social work, sociology, education, law, business, history, or the
humanities.
A View of the l\/lajor Students majoring in African-American Studies
may earn either the Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor of Science (B.S.)
degree. All majors are required to take the following set of courses:
— Economic Issues in Minority Communities
— Directed Study for Senior Thesis
— Africa Today
— African-American Literature I
— Contemporary Issues in Black Society
— Black Psychological Identity
— African-American History I
— Research Seminar
— Survey of Black Political Movements
— Race Relations in America
Faculty advisers work with students to help them select electives within
their chosen areas of concentration to fulfill their distnbution and lan-
guage requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts, or career pack-
age programs for the degree of Bachelor of Science.
60 / College of Arts and Sciences
Description of the IVIinor A minor in African-American Studies is de-
signed to meet the needs of students who major in other areas but have
a special interest in African-American Studies. To qualify for a minor in
African-American Studies, a student must earn twenty-eight quarter
hours in the field, twelve of which are from the set of courses required of
majors. The remaining courses will be a "concentration cluster" that is
arranged in consultation with the student's faculty adviser.
Concentration Clusters A concentration cluster is comprised of a set
of four courses which focus on a given aspect of African-American Stud-
ies. A cluster might focus on sociology-psychology, history, humanities,
human services, research, or other areas related to the student's edu-
cational or career needs. Concentration clusters are arranged in con-
sultation between the student and a faculty adviser.

Professional Preparation
Aims The Economics program offers students the opportunity to ob-
tain a better understanding of how our economy and other economies
function, to prepare themselves for graduate study in economics, and to
develop specialties that may qualify them to work as economists.
Description of the Major Economics is the study of ways in which
scarce resources, including human resources, are deployed to satisfy
the material wants of individuals and society. Economists analyze the
factors that determine the success or failure of this process.
Macroeconomics, concerned with the overall economy, deals with
such problems as inflation, unemployment, growth and instability, and
government monetary, fiscal, and regulatory policies. Microeconomics
is concerned with the economic behavior of individuals, households,
firms, and industries. It assesses the economic effects of racism, sexism,
pollution, and environmental damage and analyzes the economic as-
pects of natural resources, poverty, health, income distribution, trade
unions, and collective bargaining.
Graduates may be employed by businesses in such activities as in-
dustrial relations, planning and forecasting, determining plant locations,
and making financial studies. They may become expert in analyzing
consumer demand and developing and marketing new products. They
may conduct research, teach, or provide specialized consulting ser-
vices. In addition, federal, state, local governments, and trade unions
are important sources of jobs for economists.
62 / College of Arts and Sciences
A baccalaureate economics degree, or graduation with a number of
advanced economics courses, offers students an excellent opportunity
to prepare themselves for graduate programs in economics as well as
for entry into schools of law and business.
A View of the Major There is considerable flexibility in the Economics
program to enable students to concentrate in areas of personal interest.
A student expecting to major in the field should take the problem-
oriented Principles of Economics in the freshman or sophomore year to
discover the range of insights economics can offer in analyzing and
solving a variety of problems. Upper-division courses apply theory to an
in-depth study of a specific area of the field.
Other courses for the major include two quarters each of fundamentals
of mathematics, economic statistics, and economic theory. In addition,
the Department offers electives in all areas of economics, honors
courses, reading courses, and a senior seminar.
The courses listed above are required for either the Bachelor of Arts
or Bachelor of Science degree. However, the B.A. follows the liberal arts
tradition in its distribution and language requirements — the Department
of Economics requires other social science courses as well, plus six
economics electives. The B.S. is a professional degree. In addition to
social science electives, it requires ten economics electives and one
course in quantitative methods.
The Department courses offer training in economic theory, money and
banking, public finance, international trade, growth and development,
industrial organization, comparative economic systems, economic his-
tory, environmental economics, economics of crime, urban problems,
labor markets, collective bargaining, human resources, poverty and dis-
crimination, and medical economics. In addition, tool courses, such as
statistics, mathematical economics, econometrics, and quantitative
methods are available. Other electives and reading courses permit stu-
dents to study an area in-depth.
Description of the Minor The Department also offers a minor consist-
ing of four required courses and four electives, which are selected in
consultation with a faculty adviser. Any course taken outside the Depart-
ment of Economics to satisfy these minor elective requirements must be
approved by a faculty adviser in the Department.

Professional Preparation
Aims History's concern with the diverse and complex past of humanity
provides an excellent opportunity for the development of greater under-
standing and appreciation of today's culture and civilization. Tradition-
ally, history has been a major of great appeal to men and women
desiring a broad base before they embark on careers in business, law,
journalism, and government.
Other majors know that they want to work more directly in history.
Some want to teach in public schools. They may elect education courses
that may lead to state certification. (Those desiring jobs in private sec-
ondary schools need not be certified by state authorities.) Teaching
positions in colleges and universities require master's, and increasingly
doctor's, degrees. An undergraduate major in History facilitates en-
trance to graduate programs in the field. Ordinarily, college and univer-
sity history teachers spend part of their time in research and writing.
Not all professional historians teach and write. Many find pleasure and
profit working in public archives, private historical societies, museums,
and restoration projects. The careers serve not only other professional
historians but a larger public as well.
Description of the Major For majors of such diverse interests and
ambitions, curricula must combine sensible structure with flexibility. Ma-
jors in History at Northeastern may qualify for either a Bachelor of Arts
or a Bachelor of Science degree. Since the B.A. requires a foreign
language, it appeals to prospective candidates for graduate school
where reading knowledge of foreign languages is often necessary; the
B.S. is designed for students desiring greater specialization in history
and a social science orientation.
Candidates for both degrees are required to take the surveys in West-
ern Civilization and American History, and The Historian's Craft, which
focuses on methods, problems, and philosophies of historians. A later
course. Approaches to History, requires students to undertake a major
historical project. Elective courses cover the political, economic, social,
and cultural history of man in diverse times and places.
64 / College of Arts and Sciences
A View of the Major To ensure a broad program of study, the College
of Arts and Sciences requires that students choose courses offered by
departments outside the area of the major.
The history requirements are broken into groups: Group A (Ancient,
Medieval, and Early Modern Europe); Group B (Modern Europe); Group
C (British North American Colonies and the United States); and Group D
(Other Areas or Regions). A minimum of two courses (eight quarter
hours) must be elected from each group.
Majors are also urged to avoid overspecialization at the undergradu-
ate level. Though there are no maximum limits on the amount of history
that may be taken, the Department advises broad course selection as
the best policy for its majors. All majors are assigned to departmental
advisers v^ho offer counsel about the program. Students are urged to
seek advice about history electives, about other electives, and about the
honors program.
All qualified History majors are urged to consider the honors program
in History. Those accepted write honors theses under the direction of
members of the Department. Students ordinarily register the honors
courses in their last three quarters of enrollment, except for the summer
quarter when honors courses are not usually offered.
Description of the Minor Students interested in a minor in history
should consult the History Department for information.

Professional Preparation
Aims This major offers students the opportunity to prepare themselves
for possible careers in one of the areas broadly defined as "human
services." The program is interdisciplinary. The Human Services curric-
ulum allows students the opportunity to obtain fundamental attitudes,
knowledge, and skills that may lead to meaningful careers in the helping
professions as well as to graduate education in a variety of fields.
Students who major in Human Services through the College of Arts
and Sciences may prepare themselves to perform a variety of functions
in public and private agencies. Through course work, two quarters of
fieldwork experience, and possible co-op jobs, students have the op-
portunity to explore such areas as casework services in social service
and welfare agencies; therapeutic treatment programs in mental health
settings; supportive counseling in community health centers; rehabilita-
tion counseling services; sheltered workshops; parole counseling; court
liaison in programs for delinquent youth; staff work in halfway houses,
penal institutions, and drug treatment centers; supportive counseling for
the mentally retarded; community organizing; services for the aging;
administration in human services agencies; and social program re-
search and evaluation.
Description of the IVIajor The Human Services program offers a con-
tinuing advisory system to help students make the best use of their early
course selections and to guide them to appropriate upper-level courses.
College Requirements. Degree requirements differ for each partici-
pating college. Refer to pages 94 to 95 for requirements in the College
of Arts and Sciences and to page 98 for requirements in the Boston-
Bouve College of Human Development Professions. Students in Arts and
Sciences may take a five-year Cooperative Education Program or a four-
year full-time program.
There are five basic aspects to the program as follows:
1 . Prerequisite Courses. Prescribed courses in sociology, psychol-
ogy, government, economics, and human services are required,
for a total of six courses.
2. Core Courses. Nine courses in such areas as statistics, research
methods, group process, organizations, personality, intervention
strategies, and a senior seminar are required.
66 / College of Arts and Sciences
3. Specified Electives. Three courses in the areas of African-
American Studies, special education, and/or poverty must be se-
lected from a list of recommended options.
4. Specialization. Each student must take a five-course specializa-
tion developed in conjunction with an adviser. Typically, these
specializations are in one of three areas: administrative, commu-
nity, and clinical. Specific course choices are designed to com-
plement the individual's interests and goals. "Deaf Studies" and
other structured specializations are being developed.
5. Fieldwork. Human Services students are required to fulfill two
fieldwork placements during the last two years of their program.
Each placement consists of 150 hours on site. The type of place-
ment varies according to the student's interest. In the past, stu-
dents have found placements in community programs, nursing
homes, vocational workshops, state and federal agencies, and
recreational facilities. These experiences are supervised by Uni-
versity staff to maximize the student's learning opportunity.
A View of the Major The Human Services major offers students the
opportunity to obtain useful values and basic knowledge relating to var-
ious human services fields. Courses introducing some basic skills can
help them to understand and work with a variety of helping services.
Human Services students at Northeastern have been very active in
their major and helpful to each other. The Human Services Student Or-
ganization combines social and career-related activities, which in the
past have included open houses, day-long conferences, and weekend
retreats. A quarterly Human Services Newsletter is published by stu-
dents and faculty.
For specific details on degree requirements, students should consult
their Human Services advisers or the Program Coordinator in 125
Holmes Hall, 437-2624.

Professional Preparation
Aims Linguistics is the science of language and is concerned with
such issues as how children learn to speak, how we understand and
produce language, how language barriers keep people apart and how
language ties bring them together, how language is structured and how
it is represented in the brain, why some people are better at acquiring a
second language than others, and how sign languages are different
from spoken languages. Combined with other appropriate courses, a
major in linguistics may be a useful first step in becoming, for instance,
a linguist, an expert on child language, a teacher of a foreign language
or of English as a second language, an interpreter, or even an expert in
artificial intelligence. But above all, specializing in linguistics allows the
student an opportunity to have an insight into language itself — a highly
complex aspect of our everyday life that we take for granted far too
readily.
Description of the IVIajor The major in linguistics is an interdepart-
mental enterprise. Five departments (English, Modern Languages,
Philosophy and Religion, Psychology, and Sociology/Anthropology) col-
laborate to offer a comprehensive program that makes use of the vast
resources and talent that exist at Northeastern University in the field of
linguistics. The major reflects the current research of such diverse peo-
ple as linguists, sociologists, psychologists, language educators, and
teachers of second languages. It is administered by a coordinator who
is a member of the Psychology Department.
The major offers students a systematic introduction to modern linguis-
tics and is broad enough to meet the needs of students interested in:
— general linguistics (phonetics and phonology, semantics, syntax, bi-
lingualism, historical linguistics, philosophy of language, language
and culture, Amencan Sign Language);
68 / College of Arts and Sciences
— experimental linguistics (language and cognition, child language,
neurolinguistics, psycholinguistics); and
— linguistics applied to language-related work (language teaching, lan-
guage testing, language teaching materials, interpreting, literary
analysis).
A View of the Major Students enrolled in the major can obtain either a
Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Science degree. These two degrees
are in every way identical except that the second language requirement
can be met with American Sign Language in the B.S. degree but not in
the B.A. degree.
Besides the general college requirements, the requirements of the
major include six basic courses from the main areas of linguistics; gen-
eral linguistics, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, and symbolic logic.
Students also take five additional courses in the area of their choice.
These courses include, among others, Bilingualism, Child Language,
Philosophy of Language, Linguistics of American Sign Language, Neu-
rolinguistics, Transformational Grammar, Body Language, Animal Com-
munication, Introduction to Semantics, and Applied Linguistics.
All students also take a laboratory course in which they are introduced
to language research in a laboratory environment. Two advanced semi-
nars are required, as is a practicum that can take the form of fieldwork,
interpreting, language teaching, or a directed study. The practicum is
supervised by a faculty member who advises the student and monitors
his/her progress. Advanced knowledge of a second language — spoken
or sign — is required, by either taking appropriate courses or demonstrat-
ing proficiency in that language.
Combined with other appropnate courses, the program is suitable for
those students interested in teaching American Sign Language. They
may wish to concentrate on the applied linguistics of sign language
while working on their bachelor's degree. This concentration enables
students to acquire the background and the skills necessary to become
professional teachers of sign language, and helps them prepare for the
sign language instructor certification.
Throughout the course of study, students meet regularly with an ad-
viser who helps them plan their course work and advises them on all
aspects of the major.
Research The students enrolled in a directed-study course and in the
laboratory course will take advantage of the Psychology Department's
four language laboratories, which contain audio and video recording
facilities and computers for stimulus preparation, data gathering, and
statistical analysis. They will work with graduate students, research as-
sistants, and faculty on ongoing projects related to the perception and
production of spoken and sign languages.
A brochure describing the linguistics major, as well as additional in-
formation, can be obtained from Professor F. Grosjean, Department of
Psychology, 282 Nightingale Hall.
Description of the Minor In addition to the major, the linguistics pro-
gram offers students specializing in other disciplines a minor in linguis-
tics. This minor is designed to give students the opportunity to broaden
their field of study and to enhance their career opportunities. The minor
Linguistics / 69
consists of six courses, two required courses with the remainder se-
lected from a large set of courses offered by the program. Students
minoring in linguistics are assigned a faculty adviser to help them select
the courses that best suit their needs.

formation, can be obtained from Professor F. Grosjean, Department of
Psychology, 282 Nightingale Hall.

Professional Preparation
Aims Political science is concerned with the study of political institu-
tions, the social and economic forces that shape them, the cultural con-
text within which they operate, and human behavior in political matters.
The Department of Political Science at Northeastern University has
three objectives; (1) to offer students the opportunity to obtain an edu-
cation within the framework of the best liberal arts tradition; (2) to help
heighten students' awareness of political forces in the environment and
to sharpen their perception of their role as citizens in a democratic
society; and (3) to provide the opportunity for acquiring a solid academic
foundation to those who elect political science, law, or public administra-
tion as a professional career or who choose a career for which a political
science background is relevant or helpful.
Description of the Major The study of political science can be the
gateway to a liberal education with its benefits of broadened interests,
sharpened sensibilities, and a quickened sense of civic responsibility. If
you have a special interest in public affairs, studies in this field can help
you prepare for government service, the study of law, the teaching of
government and related subjects, or a career in politics or public man-
agement.
For the student who wishes to pursue professional studies at the grad-
uate level, concentration in Political Science and/or Public Administra-
tion may help lead to many attractive opportunities. As in many fields,
competition for positions is keen, so the student's success will depend
upon such factors as academic record, experience, and personal initia-
tive. There are some career opportunities in public management at the
federal, state, and local levels of government, while positions in research
are often available in government and university research bureaus.
Teaching offers further career possibilities, as do specialized agencies
in international bodies like the United Nations, which call for the skills of
the political scientist. Individuals with specialized training in political
science can compete for positions in less obvious areas; in the public-
service programming of educational and commercial television, in jour-
nalism, in legislative and lobbying work, in public relations activities with
private associations, and in profit and non-profit corporations.
Political Science/ 71
A View of the Major Students may select either the Bachelor of Arts
or the Bachelor of Science degree program. Students in the B.A. pro-
gram have to meet foreign language and other requirements of the
College. 'Both degree programs (B.A. and B.S.) require four quarter
hours in each of the following: Introduction to Political Science, Introduc-
tion to American Government, Introduction to Foreign Governments, In-
troduction to International Relations, Public Administration, and Political
Theory, as well as twenty-four to twenty-eight quarter hours of electives
in political science and six electives (twenty-four quarter hours) in the
social sciences, with at least one course in at least three of the following:
African-American studies, anthropology, economics, history, psychol-
ogy, or sociology. The B.S. student is required to take eight hours of
research methods. Courses in basic math, and FORTRAN and FORGO
are also recommended for B.S. students.
Public Administration
The Bachelor of Science program with a concentration in Public Admin-
istration provides a third option for the student. This program requires
the completion of forty hours of such courses as Introductory Political
Science, American Government, Public Adminstration, Policy Analysis,
Public Personnel Administration, Public Budgeting, Organizational The-
ory, and other courses relevant to the field. Students must also complete
at least sixteen quarter hours of Public Administration electives. In ad-
dition, they must complete twenty-four hours of electives in the social
sciences, at least eight of which should be in economics. Interested
students may undertake a directed-study project based on an internship
experience in a government agency, for academic credit.
Description of the l\/linors A minor in Political Science is also available
to interested students. It entails successfully completing seven political
science courses, at least two of which must be from the following: Intro-
duction to Politics, Introduction to American Government, Introduction to
International Relations, Introduction to Foreign Governments, or Public
Administration.
A minor in International Politics is also available. It requires successful
completion of seven courses in International and/or Comparative Politics
including "Introduction to International Relations" and "Introduction to
Foreign Governments and Societies."

Professional Preparation
Alms Modern psychology may be broadly defined as a science that
examines what people and other organisms do as well as how and why
they behave as they do. Psychology is also an interdisciplinary science
that depends heavily on the methods and much of the knowledge de-
rived from the other sciences. With these considerations in mind, the
undergraduate curriculum offers students the opportunity to develop a
sound foundation in the scientific underpinnings of modern psychology
to prepare them for a diversity of careers in teaching, research, public
service, and professional practice.
Description of the Major Our courses offer students the opportunity
for preparation to enter a variety of work settings in which in-service
specialty training is ordinarily offered (e.g., community mental health
centers, vocational rehabilitation offices, and correctional programs) or
to enter advanced training in such graduate programs as psychology,
life science, or any of the health professions and medical specialties.
The Psychology curriculum explores many topics, such as the function
of the brain in determining behavior; how we see, hear, and learn; what
behavioral science can offer in the problem areas of mental retardation,
personality problems, infancy, and old age; and how we might suggest
social changes based on laboratory data to increase men's and wom-
en's accomplishments and satisfactions in the modern world. In addition
the curriculum offers opportunities for laboratory practice and experi-
mentation, field experiences in behavior technology, and small-group
seminars to encourage critical and creative evaluation of psychology's
accomplishments and its future.
A View of the Major The Department offers both a Bachelor of Arts
and a Bachelor of Science degree. The B.S. degree is usually recom-
mended for students with a strong scientific or professional interest who
ultimately may consider applying to graduate schools in psychology or
Psychology / 73
environmental science. In addition, the Departnnent offers a special B.S.
program for Psychology majors who wish to prepare for application to
health professions schools. Since modern psychology is multidiscipli-
nary, the B.A. and B.S. programs both include distribution requirements
in allied sciences to fulfill the need for wide exposure to varying tech-
niques of scientific practice and interpretation.
With the science courses and elementary psychology courses as
foundations, students in the B.A. and B.S. programs may pursue a gen-
eral course of study that explores four major areas of psychology; Lan-
guage and Cognition, Learning Motivation and Behavioral Analysis,
Personality and Social Psychology, or Sensory and Neuropsychology.
Alternately, students may choose to concentrate in only one of these
areas. The curricula for the areas of concentration have been structured
so that the student often takes courses not only in psychology, but also
in related disciplines. For example, a student concentrating in Person-
ality and Social Psychology takes courses in sociology, anthropology,
and speech/drama. The student's final choice of concentration should
be made only after personal consultation with his or her Psychology
Department adviser.
Within each of the four concentrations, the student is expected to
progress through a sequence of specialty courses, laboratory courses,
and a seminar. The student is thus afforded the opportunity to explore a
given area of psychology in depth, as well as to acquire an overview of
the broader issues in psychology. Furthermore, all B.S. students and
qualified B.A. students participate in the Department's Directed Studies
Program, in which, under the direction of a faculty member, they engage
in research projects in various laboratories in the Department. In this
way, classroom learning is complemented by laboratory research, where
the student may learn by doing.
Description of the l\/linor Each student is required to take ten psy-
chology courses, including the introductory psychology sequence, in-
termediate specialty courses, and at least one laboratory course. The
minor program itself is quite flexible, designed for students with a broad
range of interests and career goals. Students may choose either to
distribute the ten psychology courses over a broad range of areas or to
focus on one of the four areas corresponding to the major concentra-
tions: Language and Cognition, Learning Motivation and Behaviorial
Analysis, Personality and Social Psychology, and Sensory and Neuro-
psychology. Students are assigned faculty advisers in the Department
to help them select the minor program that best suits their needs.
Topics in Psychology
Series (TIPS)
As well as offering courses designed primarily for psychology majors,
the Department also offers a variety of courses without prerequisites that
are addressed to specific topics of broad current interest. Examples
include Psychological Testing, Marriage and the Family, Body Lan-
guage, Sexual Behavior, Psychology and the Law, Animal Communica-
tion, Man in Isolation, and Memory and Remembering.
74 / College of Arts and Sciences
Research Laboratories
The student who enrolls in laboratory courses and directed-study
courses will take advantage of the Department's resources for research,
which include: (a) in the field of learning, behavior laboratories for re-
search with humans, rats, and pigeons; and, in collaboration with the
Walter E. Fernald State School, an instructional setting for research and
training in behavior modification with retarded children and adults; (b) in
neuropsychology and ethology, primate and rodent surgeries in neu-
roanatomical and histological laboratories, with apparatus for stimulating
and recording activities of the brain; (c) in the psychology of vision and
hearing, specialized enclosures and equipment for presenting visual
and auditory stimuli and for measuring responses of the eye and the ear,
including on-line computers; (d) in language and cognition, audio and
video recording facilities and a computer for control of stimulus and
response variables; and (e) in the field of personality, darkrooms, tach-
istoscopes, and an eye-movement camera.

Professional Preparation
Aims The disciplines of sociology and anthropology apply a critical
perspective to the study of social arrangements in which human beings
live and die. Systematic research methods and theory are brought to
bear on how societies function and change, and on how individuals,
groups, and institutions interact. Applications are made to such areas
as social policy, criminology, medical and mental health issues, and
business issues.
Description of the Major A major in this Department offers back-
ground preparation and preprofessional training for a wide spectrum of
careers in public or private service and research. Students may wish to
pursue graduate study in sociology, anthropology, or social psychology.
For those pursuing graduate, professional training (e.g. law, social work,
and public administration), sociology and anthropology also provide a
good background.
Students may concentrate in sociology or anthropology or both. Stu-
dents who wish to study both must design their own programs, with the
help of an adviser. Those enrolled in premedical, prelegal, paramedical,
or a variety of other preprofessional programs should find that sociology
and anthropology courses can offer a useful background.
A View of the IVIajor Majors may follow either a four-year full-time
program or a five-year cooperative course of study. Cooperative work
assignments vary from placement in mental hospitals and social agen-
cies to placement in university, government, and other research and
policy-making settings. Transfer between the five-year co-op program
and the four-year full-time program is possible, and registration in either
is not an irreversible decision.
The Department offers both a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of
Science degree. The requirements for each degree, both in sociology
and in anthropology, are outlined below. A student with specific goals
may, of course, take more departmental electives than are required. B.A.
students may wish to look at the concentration requirements for B.S.
students and consult their advisers for assistance in planning programs
with specialized goals.
76 / College of Arts and Sciences
The Department offers a B.S. witfi concentrations in anthropology or
sociology. Students selecting this option must fulfill all the major require-
ments set by the Department for the B.A. degree and must take a co-
herent program involving additional course work as outlined below.
Specializations are interdisciplinary and involve more intensive study
within a concentration.
Description of the Minor in Sociology In addition to the major pro-
gram, the Department also offers students majoring in other disciplines
the opportunity to take a minor in Sociology. The minor program consists
of the following:
A. SOC 1 1 00 Introduction to Sociology
B. Two courses from among
SOC 1321 Research Methods I
SOC 1322 Research Methods II
SOC 1300 Classical Social Thought
SOC 1301 Current Social Thought
C. Any three-course specialization in sociology arranged between
the student and the adviser.
Description of the l\/linor in Anthropology In addition to its major
program, the Department also offers students majoring in other disci-
plines the opportunity to take a minor in Anthropology. The minor pro-
gram consists of the following:
A. SOA 1 1 00 Introduction to Social Anthropology
B. SOA 1135 Language and Culture
SOA 1 155 Individual and Culture
SOA 1 160 Sex, Sex Roles, and Family
C. Any two-course specialization in Anthropology arranged between
the student and adviser.
For other minors see Special Programs, page 80.
Anthropology
B.A. students in Anthropology must take at least forty-eight quarter hours
in departmental courses, including forty in anthropology and eight in
sociology. The exact distribution can be arranged. Minimum require-
ments are as follows:
A. Preparatory — Introduction to Anthropology and Introduction to
Sociology. (Prospective majors with equivalent background may
be exempted. Students should consult a departmental adviser.)
B. Core Requirements — at least three of the following, as available:
Language and Culture; Individual and Culture; Human Origins;
Anthropology of Religion; Sex, Sex Roles, and Family; and Ar-
chaeology.
C. Electives — Students must take at least six additional electives in
anthropology and at least one additional elective in sociology.
Qualified students are encouraged to take relevant graduate
courses with the consent of the instructor. Majors should freely
consult their advisers since courses elsewhere in the University
may round out a special interest or focus.
D. Nondepartmental Requirements— Six courses from the following
social sciences: African-American studies, economics, history,
political science, and psychology.
Sociology/Anthropology / 11
B.S. students in Anthropology take the same basic core of courses
and, in addition, an individually designed specialization in an area of
interest consisting of at least five courses. Students must confer with an
adviser who will help develop such a program, place it on record, and
supervise it. Interdepartmental and interdisciplinary specializations can
be arranged in such areas as linguistics, Native American studies, bio-
logical anthropology, psychological anthropology, or area studies focus-
ing on Latin America, Africa, Asia, or the Middle East.
Sociology
B.A. students in Sociology must take at least fifty-two quarter hours in
departmental courses, including forty-four in sociology and eight in an-
thropology, and must meet the following minimum requirements:
A. Preparatory— Introduction to Anthropology and Introduction to
Sociology. (Prospective majors with equivalent background may
be exempted. Students must check with the Department.)
B. Core Requirements— Statistical Analysis; Research Methods I;
Research Methods II; Classical Social Thought; Current Social
Thought; Class, Power, and Social Change.
C. Electives — The following are minimum requirements: two interme-
diate courses, (at 200 level, excluding "Introduction to Sociol-
ogy"); two advanced courses, (courses at 300 level or above);
and one intermediate or advanced anthropology course. With the
adviser's consent, qualified students are encouraged to take cer-
tain graduate and directed-study courses and/or the Senior Ma-
jors Seminar.
D. Nondepartmental Requirements— Six courses from the following
social sciences: African-Amencan studies, economics, history,
political science, and psychology.
B.S. students in sociology take the same basic core of courses and,
in addition, an individually designed specialization in an area of interest
consisting of at least six courses, some from within and some from
offerings outside the Department. Students must confer with an adviser
who will help develop such a program, place it on record, and supervise
it. It is possible to arrange specializations focusing on social welfare,
health services, political studies, urban studies, education and society,
ethnic studies, and organizational studies. There are, of course, many
other areas of specialization and possible combinations of courses. The
following offer a few examples (courses in the Department of

Special Programs in the
College of Arts and Sciences
Reflecting the awareness that ideas, fields of study, and interests do not
always fall into traditional, neatly compartmentalized units, the College
of Arts and Sciences makes a wide variety of special programs available
to its students. Field-study programs, international work/study opportu-
nities, interdisciplinary majors and minors, involvement with profession-
als— all are among the options available to students who meet the
program eligibility requirements. Students who participate in these pro-
grams should find their educational experience at Northeastern greatly
enhanced. Detailed information about these programs is available from
involved departments and the Dean's Office.
Availability of all special programs is contingent upon minimum enroll-
ment requirements and, when an outside institution is involved, contin-
ued affiliation of that institution with the University.
Minors
The College of Arts and Sciences offers to all upperclass students in the
College of Arts and Sciences, as well as in other colleges in the Univer-
sity several choices of minors. Below is a list of all those minors. Descrip-
tions of those that are offered through one department are found in the

American Sign Language
American Sign Language (ASL) is the primary language used by the
Deaf community in the United States and parts of Canada. A language
expressed through gesture and perceived visually, ASL is not patterned
after, nor denved from, English or any other spoken language — it is
entirely different. Having its own means of expression, wit, poetry, and
rich folklore, ASL reflects the thoughts, cultural values, and experiences
of Deaf people. A knowledge of ASL is one prerequisite for acceptance
into the Deaf community; it is essential for those who have a personal or
professional interest in interacting with Deaf individuals.
The Northeastern University Sign Language Programs, affiliated with
the Department of Modern Languages, offers both day and evening
courses in ASL conversation and interpretation. Courses in the structure
of ASL, Deaf culture, Deaf history, and sign language teaching are aiso
among the programs offered. The content of the conversation courses
is designed to include features typically found in second-language cur-
ncula: vocabulary, grammatical structure, and the culture of the target
language group. A segment of each course provides an opportunity for
students to interact directly with Deaf people, observe ASL in use, and
practice their signing skills. The program also makes use of instructional
media for individualized practice on receptive skills and vocabulary
review.
Through the interpreting courses and programs offered, students may
prepare themselves for certification through the National Registry of In-
terpreters for the Deaf.
Interpreter Training During the summer. Sign Language Programs
offers intensive training opportunities for beginning sign language inter-
preters. The Summer Program for the Training of Sign Language Inter-
preters is a rigorous introduction to the field of inter-cultural com-
munication between Deaf and hearing people. Among the theoretical
and practical content areas addressed in the course are consecutive
and simultaneous interpretation, ethics and interpreter role, public
speaking, and interpretation for special populations and in special set-
tings. Applicants must provide evidence of proficiency in English and
ASL, as well as extensive experience in the Deaf community.

assignments designed to upgrade student's writing skills.
Students may use this course as a pre-stage to the conversation-
based German offerings if speaking competence is needed for a busi-
ness-oriented co-op in Germany (see International Cooperative Edu-
cation) as part of Northeastern's exchange program. Additional
information may be obtained from Ross Hall in the Modern Languages
Department.
Business Minor
The College of Business Administration, in collaboration with the College
of Arts and Sciences, offers a minor in Business for all students outside
the College of Business Administration. This minor may be valuable to
students seeking jobs both before and after graduation, in either the
public or the private sector.
The courses in the minor cover substantially the areas of business
required by the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business
as part of the relevant "common body of knowledge."
The business courses included (with one exception, Accounting) are
the same as those taken by all students in the College of Business
Administration. Thus, the minor should encourage a cross-fertilization of
ideas that will be beneficial to both CBA and non-CBA students.
For details, including full requirements and program admission stan-
dards, interested persons should consult the Dean's Office of the Col-
lege of Arts and Sciences or the Undergraduate Programs Office of the
College of Business Administration.
The Center for Asian Studies
The Center for Asian Studies was established to encourage, develop,
and promote teaching and research on Asian life, and educational and
cultural exchange of students and scholars. Tho Center develops and
supports multidisciplinary academic programs, courses, and research
that focus on individual Asian countries, the region as a whole, or
specific issues applicable to Asian life, such as Asian political processes
or family life in Japan. The Center's goal is to foster a deeper under-
standing of Asian societies and cultures through (1 ) support for scholarly
research, faculty, and visiting scholars; (2) the development and teach-
ing of graduate and undergraduate courses to develop academic and
professional interest; and (3) the acquisition, publication, and dissemi-
nation of research findings on topics selected to advance scholarship
and knowledge about Asia.
The Center also encourages and sponsors seminars, symposia, and
conferences on related issues. The Asian Studies Minor will draw to-
gether studies in the departments of Art, History, Modern Languages,
Philosophy/Religion, Political Science, and Sociology/Anthropology.
Course offerings include history, language, philosophy and religion,
political science, sociology, and anthropology.
Center for Humanities
The Center for the Humanities at Northeastern University supports
teaching and research activities in cross-disciplinary areas that connect
the traditional humanities with science and mathematics, and with such
professional curricula as engineering, business, criminal justice, and
allied health. Though it offers no courses, the Center promotes the
application of human-values perspectives and problem-solving tech-
niques to the professions in various conferences, workshops, and pres-
entations. The Center is located in 443 Meserve Hall.
84 / College of Arts and Sciences
The Center for the Study of
Sport in Society
The Center for the Study of Sport in Society, the first of its kind in the
nation, was established to address the abuses of athletes' education
and rights. Still in its formative stages, the Center has already estab-
lished a University Degree Connpletion Progrann for current or former
professional athletes and has formal agreements with the players as-
sociation in the NBA, NFL, USFL, NHL, and the two soccer leagues.
The Center will be the hub of a national consortium of universities for
the UDCP. The Center has also established a North American Faculty
Affiliates network of eighty of the nation's top sports scholars who ad-
dress and research the various academic areas of sport studies. The
Center sponsors seminars; it sponsors a broad-based curriculum in
sport and social issues; it gives annual awards for excellence in sports
journalism, both in print and audiovisual media; and it promotes cam-
pus-wide lectures, forums, and news conferences. Two journals are also
published through the Center: The Journal of Sport and Social Issues
and the ARENA Review.
The director of the program is Dr. Richard Lapchick, author, scholar,
and civil rights activist. Thomas "Satch" Sanders, former Boston Celtics
player and coach of Harvard's basketball team, is the associate director.
Robert Lipsyte, a veteran sports reporter and columnist now with CBS
television news, is the senior fellow.
Combined Program with
Professional Schools
Students who have completed at least three-fourths of the course work
required for a baccalaureate degree in the College of Arts and Sciences
and are accepted into an approved professional school of dentistry,
law, medicine, optometry, osteopathy, or veterinary medicine will be
eligible for the Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree at the
end of their second year in professional school. At least two-thirds of
work for the baccalaureate degree must be earned in residence at
Northeastern, and all other College of Arts and Sciences requirements
must be fulfilled, the residence requirement having been completed
prior to entrance into the professional school. Under this program, a
preprofessional student may reduce by one year the time normally
required for obtaining both the undergraduate and professional de-
grees.
Division of Fine Arts
The Division of Fine Arts coordinates the University's academic and
performing arts activities. Comprising the departments of Art and Archi-
tecture, Theatre and Dance, and Music, the Division was established in
1981 to enrich and expand the role of the arts at Northeastern. The
Division develops arts curricula through the support of existing pro-
grams, creates interdisciplinary courses to provide a forum for intellec-
tual stimulation and professional development, and generates
programming in both traditional and experimental art forms.
As the producer of professional arts events at Northeastern, the Divi-
sion offers a broad range of programs in film, music, dance, literary arts,
visual arts, theatre, and performance art. A year-round schedule of
events for both University and Boston audiences includes gallery shows,
dance performances, artistic residencies, concert series, and theatrical
presentations.
Special Programs / 85
To fulfill Its role as an arts service organization, the Division adrDinis-
ters an on-campus professional box office, a corridor art gallery, and an
arts publications program. Tfie Central Box Office in 105 Ell Building
provides tickets to all University-sponsored arts events as well as passes
and discount tickets to area museums, theatres, and arts organizations.
The Division's publications include the NuArts Calendar, a quarterly pre-
view of events; NEW MUSIC-BOSTON, a contemporary music listing for
the Boston area; and numerous programs, brochures, and catalogs. A
new arts magazine will begin publication in 1985 with features on the
activities and accomplishments of the Division and its constituent
departments.
Affiliations with local and national arts groups enable the Division to
expand and strengthen the scope of arts activities at Northeastern. The
Boston Lyric Opera, the Boston Theater of the Deaf, and the Boston
chapter of the League of Composers-International Society For Contem-
porary Music work through the Division's auspices to produce full sea-
sons of performances.
To ensure that the arts remain an important and vital part of the Uni-
versity and its community, the Northeastern University Division of Fine
Arts encourages both academic excellence and professional achieve-
ment. By sponsoring new works commissioning programs, by present-
ing important emerging artists, and by incorporating contemporary
notions of the role of the artist in society, the Division of Fine Arts main-
tains an important position in the cultural and educational life of this
modern urban university.
East/West Marine
Biology Program
The East/West Marine Biology Program is a joint project of Northeastern
University and the University of Oregon, which allows students of biology
to spend an exciting year of field study in three very different marine
environments: coastal Oregon, Jamaica, and New England.
The program begins in the fall on the coast of Oregon, well noted for
its large algae, stunning marine invertebrates, and numerous fish, birds,
and marine mammals. While living at the Oregon Institute of Manne
Biology, students study basic marine botany and invertebrate and ver-
tebrate zoology. These courses offer students the opportunity to build a
foundation for a better understanding of the comparative courses in
tropical and east coast marine biology that follow.
In January, students move to Jamaica to study tropical biology at a
small marine laboratory on the north coast of the island, near the town of
Ochos Rios. The lab is located on the beach within walking and swim-
ming distance of rich coral reefs and sandy bays interspersed with beds
of turtle grass. Courses focus on the tropical environment while building
on the comparative aspects of field biology by reminding students of
their work in Oregon. Visits to the interior of the island and lectures on its
terrestrial aspects are an important part of the program.
Students who have lived and worked together in Oregon and Jamaica
travel for a third and final phase of the program to Northeastern Univer-
sity. Students live in University housing but spend most of their time at
the Marine Science and Maritime Studies Center at East Point, Nahant,
just north of Boston. The laboratory is located on several acres of open
space at the end of a rocky point extending into the Atlantic Ocean.
Courses here focus on the marine plants and animals of New England
while emphasizing advanced and comparative aspects of biology.
86 / College of Arts and Sciences
Economic Planning and Policy in
Italy, M.S.
The Department of Economics and the College of Arts and Sciences at
Northeastern have joined the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR),
the national research council in Italy, to offer graduate courses in eco-
nomics in Italy.
Of particular interest to undergraduates is the summer-abroad portion
of this program (taught in English) that is run in Northern Italy and is
open to juniors and seniors majoring in Business or Economics. Students
take up to five applied economics courses in intensive two-week work-
shops.
The departments of Economics and Graduate Business Administra-
tion and the College of Arts and Sciences also collaborate with the
National Research Council of France to offer economics and business
courses in Paris during summer term. Graduate and undergraduate sec-
tions are conducted in English by European and American professors.
Students take courses in intensive two-week modules and may combine
their European course work by enrolling in both programs.
Elementary Spanish for Criminal
Justice and Human Service
Majors
This course is intended for students majoring in Criminal Justice or Hu-
man Services who will need to use Spanish in police work and in social
service settings. The grammar taught is the same as in other elementary
Spanish courses. The vocabulary is adapted in particular needs and
interests of the students. Role-play is used extensively and students
practice "intake interviews" in the course.
Exchange Program
American College in Greece
Northeastern enjoys a sister school relationship with Deree College, the
American College in Greece, which allows students of both institutions
to take advantage of a formal exchange agreement. Students at North-
eastern may study at Deree for a term of a year while maintaining aca-
demic status at Northeastern. In addition, a program is currently being
developed which will offer students graduate and undergraduate eco-
nomics and business courses in Athens during summer term.
French for Business and
Economics Students
Elementary French for Business and Economics students is designed
for students who wish to study French with the intent of enhancing their
career opportunities. The program is particularly aimed for students in-
terested in international business. It offers, along with a thorough study
of grammar and insights into the French way of life, some specialized
vocabulary related to the business world and an immediate introduction
to French business texts. The course serves as a preliminary step for
the student wishing to gain co-op placement in France. Additional infor-
mation may be obtained from Juliette Gilman in 362 Holmes Hall.
Independent Major
After their second quarter, students may petition the Dean of the College
that they meet the requirements for the Bachelor of Arts degree as
independent rather than departmental majors. The independent major
must center on a discipline or combination of disciplines in the arts and/
or sciences.
Special Programs / 87
A faculty member acting as the student's academic adviser initially
reviews the program, which must meet all College requirements. The
program is then submitted to the appropriate committee for final ap-
proval. Requirements and procedures for the major should be discussed
in advance with an academic adviser in the dean's office.
International Cooperative
Experience
Northeastern extends its unique program of Cooperative Education to
the international scene by offering qualified upperclass students the
opportunity for suitable international placement. This program operates
on an exchange basis in cooperation with overseas institutions and
sponsoring agencies. Students whose academic, linguistic, and profes-
sional expenence make them attractive candidates for overseas posi-
tions may work in Great Britain, Sweden, Ireland, Canada and the French
and German-speaking countries of Europe. By creating a mutually ben-
eficial situation for students and employers, the program helps to meet
an increasing need for qualified professionals who possess international
expertise and language proficiency necessary to assist companies in
expanding their overseas markets. Students may obtain detailed infor-
mation about the program from the Department of Modern Languages
or the International Cooperative Education Office, 502 Stearns Center.
Irish Studies
The Irish Studies Program promotes Irish Studies at Northeastern Uni-
versity through expansion of the curriculum, cultural programs on Ireland
and Irish-Americans, and co-operative exchanges of Irish and American
students for work and study. The Distinguished Speakers Series pre-
sents opportunities for University faculty and staff to develop mutually
beneficial relationships with Irish counterparts in all disciplines. The
committee encourages cooperation with all departments of the Univer-
sity.
Through International Co-op, students are placed in various busi-
nesses and agencies in the Republic of Ireland and in Northern Ireland.
The Working Papers in Irish Studies Series provides an opportunity to
disseminate manuscripts of current interest. Cultural efforts include a
film series, development of a library collection, and art exhibitions, as
well as student activities in the Ihsh Student Club. Plans to develop an
Interdisciplinary Minor are underway. Dr. Ruth-Ann Harris, Department
of History, is the Director of Irish Studies.

Linguistics Minor
In collaboration with four other departments— English, Modern Lan-
guages, Philosophy and Religion, and Sociology/Anthropology— the
Psychology Department offers the Linguistics Minor, which reflects the
current research of such diverse people as linguists, sociologists, psy-
chologists, language educators, speech pathologists, neurologists, and
teachers of second languages. The minor in Linguistics complements
the study of any other language-related area such as computer science,
anthropology, brain physiology, or language teaching. Specialized con-
centrations within linguistics include psycholinguistics, stylistics, lan-
guage and culture, second language teaching and applied linguistics,
theoretical linguistics, and American Sign Language linguistics. Many
research opportunities exist through directed work study.
London Business/Economics
Internship Programme
The Department of Economics and the College of Business Administra-
tion have joined with the London Internship Consort to offer a new pro-
gram of Business/Economics Study and Internship in London. The
Programme combines upper-level coursework in European Economic
Development, a case-based Seminar in International Business Studies,

with major party leaders and current and former Prime Ministers. One
half-price scholarship is available to a Northeastern University student
each year. Application and eligibility information is available from the
Division of Special Programs, College of Arts and Sciences.
Marine Studies l\/linor
The Marine Studies minor reflects the educational resources and mari-
time heritage of New England and offers the undergraduate student the
opportunity for an unusual focus in a liberal arts education. Study of the
oceans, like approaches to other intellectual frontiers, demands an in-
tegrated interdisciplinary approach. The Marine Studies minor is struc-
tured to allow a primary, although not exclusive, emphasis on either the
scientific or the social science/humanistic study of the oceans. Some
physical interaction with the sea is required through demonstrated
achievement in a specific marine-related skill such as scuba diving,
sailing, or piloting/navigation. The minor is notthe principal preparation
for employment in marine related positions but rather an opportunity to
enrich a liberal education. Full information is available from the Director
of the Center for Marine Science and Maritime Studies.
Massachusetts Bay
Marine Studies Consortium
Northeastern University is a member of the Massachusetts Bay Marine
Studies Consortium. The Consortium serves the students and faculty of
22 Boston-area colleges and universities. The courses are interdiscipli-
nary and seek to bridge the gap between academic disciplines and to
address current concerns in the marine world. The Consortium catalog
includes a fall course, A History of Seafaring, a look at cultures and
societies of the past as reflected in their maritime activities; and three
winter courses— Water, Water, an interdisciplinary survey of water-re-
lated problems in their cultural, political, economic, technological, and
scientific complexity: Into the Ocean World, an interdisciplinary introduc-
tion to marine studies; and Marine Mammals, taught at the New England
Aquarium.
For further information contact the University's Consortium represen-
tative.
Media Studies
We live in a media-oriented society in which political outcomes and
social values are affected, if not determined, by the mass media. Stu-
dents who pursue the Media Studies Minor examine the media from a
number of perspectives. Media Studies courses are selected from the
departments of Political Science, Music, Speech Communication, Jour-
nalism, Art, Drama, History, and English. Each student satisfies require-
ments in the background and theory of Mass Media and then completes
the program by selecting courses in the areas of Media Production and
Media Application. The program is considered a strong complement to
majors in a variety of fields given the impact of mass mediated mes-
sages on contemporary organizations and society in general.
New England Conservatory
Affiliation
According to a reciprocal agreement between Northeastern and the
New England Conservatory, a limited number of qualified Arts and Sci-
ences students may take courses at the New England Conservatory as
part of the regular course load and tuition fee at Northeastern. This
90 / College of Arts and Sciences
arrangement provides for Northeastern students who qualify the oppor-
tunity to enhance their cultural life by taking part in the richness of music
education that is the hallmark of the Conservatory. Northeastern students
who participate in this program, as well as any student who declares
music as his or her major, are also given full library privileges to the
Conservatory.
Students interested in this program should contact Professor Joshua
Jacobson, Chairman of the Music Department at Northeastern, 437-
2440, to make the appropriate arrangements.
Oxford Study Semester
Students from Northeastern University will join students from throughout
the U.S. to study under Oxford University professors. The major empha-
sis of the program will be international relations, with lecture courses in
British History and British Government supplemented by tutorial semi-
nars in such subjects as International Economic Policy, and Develop-
ment of the European Economic Community.
Personality and Social
Psychology
The Departments of Psychology and Sociology/Anthropology have com-
bined their resources to offer students a new interdisciplinary speciali-
zation that can be pursued for a degree in either of these academic
departments.
The specialization in Personality and Social Psychology offers stu
dents the opportunity to acquire a systematic understanding of various
life processes, such as childrearing, aggression, anxiety, prejudice, at-
titude formation and change, moral development, and psychopathology
It includes studies of attraction and love, conformity, formation of identity,
helping behavior, morality, and other related topics.
Students pursuing an interdisciplinary specialization take courses in
both the Psychology and Sociology/Anthropology Departments. How-
ever, the student may select the department in which the specialization
will be pursued.
In making this selection, the student should consider how each de
partment differs in methods and level of analysis. These differences as
well as various course offerings are outlined in a brochure titled A New
Specialization: Personality and Social Psychology, which can be ob-
tained by writing to the Department of Psychology (234 Nightingale Hall)
or the Department of Sociology/Anthropology (500 Holmes Hall). Also,
prospective students should discuss their potential department affilia-
tions with Professors Golden or Levin (Sociology/Anthropology) and Pro-
fessors Harkins or Zamansky (Psychology). (This is an interdisciplinary
program that is separate from the Social Psychology specialization-out-
lined on page 80.)
Russian Studies Minor
The Russian Studies Minor is an interdisciplinary program which pro-
vides students with an opportunity to develop a broad understanding of
an important area by studying its language, society, history, economy
culture, and behavior. The program attempts to help students become
knowledgeable about an important culture that generally receives quite
limited treatment in secondary schools. The minor may help to prepare
students for further graduate study in specialized areas such as govern-
Special Programs / 91
ment, teaching, journalism, and business, and may provide the begin-
nings of such specialized knowledge that will enhance students' career
opportunities in the absence of graduate study in the aforementioned
employment fields.
School for Field Studies
The College of Arts and Sciences is affiliated with the School for Field
Studies (SFS), a nonprofit educational organization that offers one- and
two-month field study expeditions throughout the world. Semester pro-
grams on Wildlife Management, Athi Plains, Kenya, and on Coral Reef
Ecology, St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands are offered yearly. Programs com-
bine applied academics with training in field research methods and
teamwork— an exciting hands-on approach to science. Credit is granted
for the coursework. Students of all levels and disciplines are eligible, but
participation of Northeastern University students is limited proportionate
to the total number of outside participants in the SFS program. Additional
information may be obtained in the Arts and Sciences Dean's Office.
Technical Communication Minor
Technical Communication combines written, oral, and graphics skills
with a background in science or technology. The minor in Technical
Communication helps students prepare for careers as technical writers,
or for careers in which technical communication is a significant part of
their jobs. Students in English or other liberal arts studies may elect the
minor, as may students from a variety of technological or scientific fields.
Trent Polytechnic Exchange
Program
The Trent program presents an opportunity for upperclass Northeastern
students to study theory and practice of social and human services in
the United Kingdom. Students participate in an academic term at Trent
Polytechnic in Nottingham, England, and an additional six-month coop-
erative experience in appropriate institutions and organizations.
Students study the development of contemporary British social struc-
ture, its institutions and strategies to deal with modern social problems.
Their assignment to a specific institution offers a chance for firsthand
observations of a particular social or human service.
Trent is the largest practitioner of cooperative education in the United
Kingdom. Community Service Volunteers (CSV), an organization com-
parable to our VISTA, places students for the cooperative period. CSV is
an educational charity which involves young people in full-time commu-
nity service work throughout Great Bntain (for example, diagnostic cen-
ters, schools for emotionally disturbed children, or social service
departments in local communities).
These two organizations provide a unique and challenging program
for Northeastern students who qualify academically. The program can
accommodate twenty to thirty students. Interested students should con-
tact the Department of Sociology and Anthropology or the International
Cooperative Education Office.
Urban Studies Minor
The Urban Studies minor offers courses with an urban orientation in four
main areas: (1) urban problems and policies; (2) urban form and design;
(3) African-American studies; and (4) urban humanities. The minor may
be useful for the student who majors in one of the social sciences (his-
tory, economics, political science) as well as the student with a career
92 / College of Arts and Sciences
orientation towards political science or business administration in urban
areas. The minor presents the opportunity to study. the approach of
different disciplines to solve the same set of urban problems. Studying
the viewpoint of artists, minorities, economists, and others, the student
is given the chance to develop a broader perspective on the identity of
urban areas. Like an art appreciation course, the minor provides back-
ground information and criteria for appreciation of the urban environ-
ment. Students may contact any one of the participating departments or
the Dean's Office for additional information.
Washington internship Program
Students study U.S. Foreign Policy and International Relations, do spe-
cialized research in a field such as Central America, Arms Control, or
U.S. -European Relations, and serve an internship in Congress or a gov-
ernment agency or department. Frequent guest lectures by influential
government experts will supplement the academic program.
Women's Studies iVIinor
Women's Studies offers students the opportunity to broaden their knowl-
edge and understanding of human experience by approaching various
disciplines from a non-traditional perspective — that of women. In the
courses offered as part of Northeastern University's interdisciplinary
Women's Studies minor, students will examine traditional stereotypes
and roles, learn about women's contribution to our history and culture,
and consider the changing situation of women in the 1980s. Dr. Debra
Kaufman, Department of Sociology and Anthropology, may be con-
tacted for further information.

book review section.
Romanticism Past and Present Romanticism Past and Present pub-
lishes articles and reviews of books dealing with a Romantic sense of
the past. After changing its title from Milton and the Romantics in 1981,
the journal shifted direction to make it responsive to a broadening con-
ception of Romanticism and Romantic studies. Presently, Romanticism
Past and Present publishes articles, notes, and reviews. Seeking to de-
velop a comparatist and interdisciplinary orientation, the journal brings
interdisciplinary and international concerns to bear on the study of En-
glish Romantic literature.

1111 at Northeastern.
Major Candidates must complete successfully the courses specified
as major requirements. A complete listing of these required courses is
published in the Basic Day College Course Descriptions and Curriculum
Guide.
Core Curriculum Students entering the college as freshmen in the fall
of 1984 and all new students entering in the fall of 1985 or thereafter
must complete several "core requirements" for graduation; these re-
place the previous college "distribution requirements." The Core Curric-
ulum requires that courses be taken in the following areas: basic skills,
both communicative and quantitative; methods of inquiry; alternative
cultures and societies; Western cultural heritage; theoretical perspec-
tives and changes; and current issues in perspective. Full details are
provided to students at entry, and are also available from academic
advisers in the Dean's Office.
For all students who entered prior to the fall of 1984, and for upper-
class students who entered in the fall of 1984, the previous "distribution
requirements" must be satisfied, as described in earlier editions of this
Bulletin. Again, full details are available from academic advisers in the
Dean's Office.
Foreign Language All candidates for the Bachelor of Arts degree
must attain a level of proficiency in a modern foreign language indicated
by passing grades in intermediate-level college courses or by meeting
a comparable criterion that has been approved by the Modern Lan-
guages Department.
General Regulations / 95
A conditional exemption fronn this requirement may be granted in
the following situations:
1) students who earned an average grade of C or better in a full, four-
year language sequence in secondary school
2) students who earned an average grade of A in a three-year language
sequence in secondary school.
A conditional exemption must be confirmed by taking a proficiency
examination during the first quarter at the University. A sufficiently high
score will verify the exemption; otherwise the student will be advised of
the appropriate language course to take in the following quarter.
An absolute exemption will be granted to students:
1) for whom English is a foreign language
2) who receive a score of 550 or better in the Language Achievement
Examinations.
For students who have not met the foreign language requirement at
the time of entrance, the entry level into foreign language study depends
upon the scope and level of prior study. The normal sequence for stu-
dents with no prior preparation is two quarters of elementary-level lan-
guage and two quarters of intermediate-level language. The Modern
Languages Department will determine an appropriate entry point at
which students who have partial language preparation may begin com-
pleting the requirement.
Graduation with Honors
Candidates who have achieved superior grades in their academic work
will be graduated cum laude. Upon special vote of the faculty, a limited
number of this group may be graduated magna cum laude or summa
cum laude. Students must have been in attendance at the University for
at least six academic quarters before they become eligible for honors at
graduation.
Commencement Exercises
The College of Arts and Sciences holds commencement exercises each
June and September.
Accreditation
All programs in the College of Arts and Sciences are fully accredited by
the New England Association of College and Secondary Schools.

Program Aims
Boston-Bouve College of Human Development Professions offers under-
graduate majors in tfiree departments: Education; Healthi, Sport, and
Leisure Studies; and Physical Therapy. An undergraduate program in
Human Services is also available. The College has graduate programs
in Counseling Psychology, Curriculum and Instruction, Educational Ad-
ministration, Foundations of Education, Rehabilitation Administration,
Special Education, Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology, Physi-
cal Education, Physical Therapy, and Recreation and Leisure Studies,
with the Master of Education, Master of Science, CAGS, and Doctor of
Education degrees conferred.
The primary goal of the College is to provide the finest education for
every student. To meet demands for fully qualified personnel, the Col-
lege strives to develop the independent, self-reliant individual.
A View of the Five- Year Program Professional preparation is based
in the liberal arts and sciences, with orientation to each profession be-
ginning in the freshman year. There is a concentration on specific com-
petencies spaced throughout the programs and on professional theory
and practice in the last two years. In the junior or senior year, all students
have the opportunity to synthesize knowledge and skills through super-
vised experiences in clinical practice, student teaching, field experi-
ence, or internships. Each curriculum is enriched by cooperative
education experiences that, for the most part, are related to a student's
area of specialization. At times, these experiences are professionally
unrelated, but are always concerned with people, thus providing an
opportunity of inestimable value in any career.
Facilities
The facilities of the College are quite diversified. Dockser Hall houses
administrative and faculty offices, classrooms, a gymnasium, dance stu-
dio, computer laboratories, physiology of exercise laboratory, and locker
and shower facilities, as well as seminar rooms, and a motor-learning
laboratory. The swimming pool, weight room, handball/racquetball
courts, offices, and shower and dressing facilities are located in the
Barletta Natatonum complex. The Cabot Building, attached to Barletta,
contains one very large gymnasium and another well equipped for gym-
nastics, as well as wrestling, exercise, and weight training rooms, an
athletic training laboratory, an indoor track and activity area, offices, and
extensive locker room space.
The Department of Education administratively houses three resources
for Boston-Bouve College: The Reading Clinic, The F. Andre Favat
Learning and Resources Center and Library of Children's Literature, and
the Russell J. Call Children's Center. The Reading Clinic, in 1 Holmes
98 / Boston-Bouve College
Hall, provides corrective instruction for area school children while stu-
dents enrolled in the Departnnent's reading courses receive clinical ex-
perience. The F. Andre Favat Center, in 1 Nightingale Hall, contains a
collection of children's literature and related learning resources includ-
ing books, tests, professional journals and manipulative materials. The
Russell J. Call Children's Center, located in the Forsyth Building, pro-
vides day care for children ranging in age from two years and nine
months to five years whose parents are faculty, staff, or students of
Northeastern University. Forsyth Building is the location for a Speech-
Language-Hearing Clinic and Laboratory, where students may observe,
through one-way glass or television monitors, the actual delivery of clin-
ical services. The Human Services Program office is in room 127, Mes-
erve Hall.
The Physical Therapy Department is located in Mary Gass Robinson
Hall. On the third and fourth floors are the physical therapy faculty of-
fices, the Lupean Professional Library, classrooms, and three laborato-
ries. The laboratories are designed and equipped specifically for the
practice of clinical procedures and research. The library's reading room
supplements the University library, maintaining an up-to-date collection
of physical therapy and medical books for use by students and faculty
in the program and the College.
The Warren Center serves as a practical laboratory for the College. Its
athletic fields and tennis courts, ropes course, cross-country ski trails,
natural setting of lake, woods, fields, streams, winterized cottages, and
Hayden Lodge provide year-round opportunities for outdoor learning
twenty-five miles from the Boston campus. Courses, conferences, sem-
inars, and workshops are conducted at the Center throughout the year
and thus serve University and community needs.
Admission
See page 234 for information concerning admission. In the third year,
prior to the first supervised clinical education expehence. Physical Ther-
apy students must be examined either by physicians in the University
Health Services, at a moderate fee, or by a personal physician. Students
majoring in programs offered by the Department of Education and the
Department of Health, Sport, and Leisure Studies must submit evidence
that they are free of tuberculosis before engaging in student teaching.
Graduation Requirements
Degrees Students graduating in Early Childhood Education, Elemen-
tary Education, English as a Second Language, Human Services, School
and Community Health Education, and Physical Education, earn the
degree of Bachelor of Science in Education; those completing the Rec-
reation and Leisure Studies program are awarded the Bachelor of Sci-
ence in Recreation and Leisure Studies degree; and students
graduating in Physical Therapy receive the degree of Bachelor of Sci-
ence in Physical Therapy. These degrees are awarded to qualified can-
didates who have completed the prescribed curricula. Student teaching,
field experience, or clinical practice is an integral part of the curriculum
and is required for graduation. All programs require demonstration of
computer literacy prior to graduation.

Students must satisfy the requirements of the Department of Cooper-
ative Education to become eligible for their degrees.
Senior-year course work and required experiences must be com-
pleted in full-time residence at Northeastern University or in an educa-
tional setting approved by the College.
Qualitative The overall cumulative quality-point averages required to
enter each class level are explicitly stated in the Student Handbook.
Throughout the professional sequence, students must maintain required
averages and must demonstrate a high level of personal and profes-
sional maturity to continue field practice and be approved for gradua-
tion. Because of accreditation recommendations and differences in
curricula, variations in qualitative requirements may occur.
Transfer students in any curriculum may be accepted into the College
at upperclass levels except in physical therapy, if there are available
spaces. Each transcript is individually assessed for qualification, place-
ment, and program design.
Graduation with Honor
Candidates who have attained superior grades in their academic work
will be graduated cum laude. Upon special vote of the faculty, a number
of this group may be graduated magna cum laude or summa cum laude.
Students must have been in attendance at the University for at least six
quarters before they become eligible for honors at graduation.
Program Accreditation
The curriculum in Physical Therapy is accredited by the American Phys-
ical Therapy Association. Programs in Early Childhood, Elementary Ed-
ucation, School Health Education, and Physical Education are state-
approved under the Interstate Certification Compact (I.CC).
Licensure/Registration
All fifty states have laws governing the practice of physical therapy. In
order to be eligible for employment to practice physical therapy, gradu-
ates must meet the specific legal requirements of the state in which they
wish to work. In most states the requirements include graduation from
an accredited school of physical therapy and a satisfactory grade on a
written examination. Graduates are responsible for finding out what the
specific legal requirements are to practice in the state in which they
seek employment.
100 / Boston-Bouve College
Certification
Upon successful completion of the progranns in Early Childhood, Ele-
mentary Education, School Health Education, and Physical Education,
students are eligible to apply for certification by the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts. Certification is required for public school teaching, but
does not guarantee a position. Reciprocal certification is available in
many states of the United States, for those who complete I.C.C. ap-
proved programs. Graduates are responsible for determining the re-
quirements of the states in which they are interested.
Focus on the Student
There is a uniqueness about this College. Perhaps it is the personal
touch, a keen interest in every man and woman, expressed in individ-
ualized advice and counsel. The College has its own professional clubs
and Dance Theatre. Its social clubs and assemblies contrast with study
rooms, seminars, and places for research. There is skiing in winter,
camping in summer, and year-round sports.
Community service is stressed in every department — service to those
with special needs: the physically handicapped, inner-city youth, and
the aging.

The Department of Education also provides teacher preparation pro-
grams in a variety of fields and levels. To assist students enrolled in
these programs, the Department utilizes three support units; the Read-
ing Clinic, the F. Andre Favat Learning Resources Center, and the Rus-
sell J. Call Children's Center.
The aim of the Department is to make it possible for students to gain
certification in a teaching major and/or level and to acquire the compe-
tencies necessary for success in teaching.
Teacher Preparation
Early Childhood Education (K-3)* Students in the Early Childhood
Education program pursue studies in the College of Arts and Sciences
and in other basic colleges of the University, as well as in the Boston-
Bouve College. This broad academic background, combined with ex-
periences in the Cooperative Education Program, permits the develop-
ment of a cohesive professional base. The Russell J. Call Children's
Center provides experiences in fieldwork for students in the Early Child-
hood Education program. Pre-student teaching experiences in appro-
priate field settings are an integral part of several required courses.
Elementary Education (Grades 1-6)* Elementary Education majors
acquire a broad academic base by enrolling in courses chosen from
various colleges of the University. Acquiring the necessary teaching
competencies is the result of the course experiences, the work experi-
ences in the Cooperative Education Program, and the pre-student
teaching field activities. In addition to courses required of all Elementary
Education majors, students choose an area of emphasis from the follow-
ing: Humanities, Language-Reading, Science-Mathematics, or Social
Science.
Emphases usually consist of 40 quarter hours. Each emphasis has
been designed to help focus the studies, but does not lead to certifica-
tion in that specific area. It may, however, serve as a catalyst for further
study in a graduate program.
Special Education Minor Students majoring in elementary education
may complete a minor in special education which will permit them to
apply for certification to teach children with moderate special needs in
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Secondary Education (Grades 9-12) Programs of preparation to
teach Biology, Chemistry, Earth Science, English, French, History, Math-
ematics, Physics, or Spanish in the schools of Massachusetts are pro-
vided for students in the College of Arts and Sciences who are majoring
in those respective fields. Additionally, students majoring in Economics,
*These programs are designed to meet the requirements for certification in ttie
Commonwealtti of t[/lassactiusetts and in certain other states. Details may be
obtained from the department chairman.
Department of Education / 1 03
Philosophy, Political Science, or Sociology may pursue state certification
in the teaching of Social Studies. Specified competencies established
for certification in Massachusetts may be acquired through cooperative
education experiences, designated courses, and a quarter of full-time
student teaching, arranged by the University's Department of Education.
English As A Second Language The English as a Second Language
Program provides preparation for teaching at the elementary, secon-
dary, and adult levels in the United States and abroad. The program
includes courses in foreign language, English, cultural and cross cultural
studies, methods and materials for teaching English, and international
aspects of teaching and learning. This broad academic background
combined with practical experiences in cooperative education, offers a
strong professional foundation for those interested in this teaching spe-
cialization.
Student Teaching Student teaching is a full-time experience for a
complete academic quarter during the senior year. It follows planned
experiences that are designed to help the student toward a rewarding
quarter of student teaching. A University professor and a cooperating
classroom teacher have shared responsibility in the supervision of each
student teacher.
Teacher Certification
Inasmuch as public education is a state responsibility, each state pre-
scribes the conditions under which persons may be licensed to teach in
its public schools. The requirements for obtaining a certificate for teach-
ing, therefore, vary among the different states.

Aims The department provides programs and services, conducts re-
search, and disseminates knowledge concerned with improving the
quality of life with respect to health, sport, and leisure. Faculty are com-
mitted to pre- and in-service preparation of practitioners to serve people
of all ages and also to the scholarly investigation related to the eight
programs represented within the department.
Programs Professional preparation is provided in three programs:
Physical Education, School and Community Health Education, and Rec-
reation and Leisure Studies. Physical Education students may select a
concentration in Athletic Training, Athletic Training Teacher Certification,
Cardiovascular Health and Exercise, Dance Teacher Certification, or
Physical Education Teacher Certification. Recreation and Leisure stu-
dents may choose to concentrate in Outdoor Recreation, Recreation
Management, or Therapeutic Recreation.
With appropriate use of electives, students may combine concentra-
tions, for example: Health/Athletic Training, Athletic Training/Cardiovas-
cular Health and Exercise, Physical Education/Athletic Training, or
Health/Cardiovascular Health and Exercise. In some cases, these com-
bined programs may extend the date of graduation.
Admissions Requirements Students desiring admission to degree
programs must meet the entrance requirements of the University. In
addition to transcripts showing successful completion of a secondary
school college preparatory program, applicants must submit scores
from the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) and three College Board
Achievement Tests, preferably in areas related to their intended fields of
study. Although not required, a personal interview with an admissions
counselor is recommended.
105
Physical Education/Athletic Training
Aims The athletic trainer plays an important role not just in professional
sports, but also in the organized and recreational activities of sportsmen
and women from all walks of life.
A necessary link between the athlete, the coach, and the physician,
the athletic trainer provides important services in preventing, treating,
and rehabilitating sports injuries. The trainer's duties include advising on
proper conditioning techniques to help reduce injury, assessing the se-
verity of injuries that do occur and administering basic first aid, and
supervising post-injury rehabilitation programs.
In general, athletic trainers work in organized sports — either for sec-
ondary school or college athletic teams or for professional teams en-
in a variety of sports.
Description of the Program The Health,. Sport, and Leisure Studies
Department at Northeastern University's Boston-Bouve College of Hu-
man Development Professions offers a bachelor of science program
designed specifically for students interested in careers as athletic train-
ers. The program can be integrated with the Health and Physical Edu-
cation Teacher Certification programs. These combinations of study can
be especially valuable since, for example, many schools hire a single
individual to be both physical education or health education teacher and
athletic trainer.
Students interested in the Athletic Training program must be accepted
into Northeastern's undergraduate program in Physical Education,
Health Education, or Cardiovascular Health and Exercise. At the com-
pletion of their first year of study, they may petition for acceptance into
the Athletic Training program. To be accepted into the program, stu-
dents must have earned at least a 1.85 quality-point average during
their first year. They must continue to meet specified requirements to
remain in the program.
Certification Those who have completed the Athletic Training area of
emphasis with the Physical Education Teacher Certification curriculum
are eligible to apply to the National Athletic Trainers Association to take
the certification examination and are eligible to apply for certification as
teachers of physical education under I.C.C. approval. Certification in
Physical Education and/or Athletic Training does not guarantee a posi-
tion.
Accreditation The professional program in Athletic Training is accred-
ited by the National Athletic Trainers Association.

Physical Education Teacher Certification
Description of the Program The Teacher Certification program in
Physical Education is designed to offer students the opportunity to pre-
pare themselves as professionals capable of developing the materials
and methods appropriate to teaching physical education in public and
private schools at all levels — elementary, secondary, and college. Its
graduates may qualify as athletic coaches, as trainers, supervisors of
physical education, or leaders in YMCAs, YWCAs, health clubs, other
youth organizations, or as exercise specialists in industry and business.
In addition to a strong background in general education, applied sci-
ence, and pedagogy, each student is expected to demonstrate a com-
petent level of knowledge and proficiency in physical skills courses such
as swimming, gymnastics, track, badminton, tennis, volleyball, and bas-
ketball. Skill may be demonstrated through competency testing or by
taking the appropriate courses. Major students are assigned supervised
student teaching or field experiences in schools or agencies throughout
the Greater Boston area as appropriate to their areas of concentration.
In addition, students have the opportunity to increase their experience
with children or adults through cooperative work assignments and in
pre-practicum courses. Physical Education majors are expected to
maintain a specific grade average at each class level (see the current
Student Handbook). Fees may be assessed in courses requihng highly
specialized equipment, supplies, or off-campus facilities.
Accreditation The professional program in Physical Education is ap-
proved under the Interstate Certification Compact (I.C.C).

Recreation and Leisure Studies/Outdoor
Recreation
Description of the Program The Outdoor Recreation option is de-
signed to help students understand the relationship between natural
physical environments and social environments, and the interaction be-
tween the two that creates the recreation place.
This concentration is structured in accordance with three basic goals:
(1) to provide students with an opportunity to acquire an understanding
of elements of biology, geology, ecology, facilities planning, and admin-
istration as they relate to leisure in an outdoor setting; (2) to help stu-
dents develop a variety of skills and methodologies to coordinate the
relationships among social, ecological, and economic elements of out-
door recreation areas: and (3) to introduce students to the political real-
ities of the environment and outdoor recreation issues.
A variety of experiential education opportunities supplementing regu-
lar course offerings are available at the Warren Center of Northeastern
University, a unique teaching-learning laboratory within easy commuting
distance of Boston, and through the summer wilderness program. Stu-
dents are scheduled for their one-week resident camp experience at the
close of the freshman year at the Warren Center in Ashland, approxi-
mately twenty-five miles west of the Boston Campus. The lab fee for this
experience is approximately $165 per student.
The flexibility of their program enables graduates of the Outdoor Rec-
reation option to qualify for positions of leadership in a variety of recre-
ation areas. For example, graduates may become conservationists,
working in state or federal agencies. They may also work as camp coun-
selors and administrators, as activity coordinators or program planners
at parks and resorts, or in a variety of social-science centers.

Recreation and Leisure Studies/Recreation
Management
Description of the Program Students in recreation management have
academic and work experiences which combine to give them an oppor-
tunity to develop strong general education and marketable job skills.
The academic work emphasizes the behavioral sciences as they ap-
ply in leisure and managerial settings. At the end of the freshman year,
students take an intensive, in-residence program in leadership and hu-
man relations at the University's Warren Center, 25 miles west of Boston.
Equally heavy emphasis is placed on developing a working knowl-
edge of marketing, budgeting, planning, evaluation, and computer ap-
plications as they apply to the leisure industry. The case method of
teaching is widely used to help students identify and solve practical
problems facing recreation organizations in the commercial and non-
profit sectors.
The cooperative education plan provides opportunities for profes-
sional work experiences in health clubs, racquet clubs, resorts, tourism
agencies, government, and nonprofit agencies. Further, a three month
internship exposes the student to professional experience which is not
usually possible in cooperative education jobs.
The academic and work experiences in recreation management are
designed to help the student to develop those skills most necessary to
obtain entry level management positions in commercial, government,
and nonprofit recreation. Students wishing to continue their education
appropriately seek admission to Master's of Business Administration
(M.B.A.) or Master's of Public Administration (M.P.A.) degree programs.

Recreation and Leisure Studies/Therapeutic
Recreation
Description of the Program The unique problems of special needs
groups in our society have recently become the focus of intense study.
As our understanding of their needs increases, so too does our appre-
ciation of the therapeutic values associated with participation in recrea-
tion activities. Such advances in knowledge have helped establish
further career opportunities for students interested in Recreation and
Leisure Studies.
Therapeutic Recreation specialists may be members of health care
teams in clinical and residential treatment centers, or they may serve as
advocates for disabled persons who live in the community and wish to
pursue leisure activities independently. Therapeutic Recreation students
take courses in behavioral and social sciences, counseling techniques,
and program planning for various special needs populations. The Ther-
apeutic Recreation concentration is designed to help equip students
with the professional job skills that are essential to work with disabled
people in institutions and community-based settings, including hospi-
tals, rehabilitation facilities, nursing homes, schools, and residential cen-
ters as well as day-care vocational/avocational centers in therapy
collaboratives. A variety of experiential education opportunities supple-
menting regular course offerings are available through ECHO, Inc., (a
private camp affiliated with Northeastern University serving disabled
children and their nondisabled peers).

School and Community Health Education
Description of the Program Health Education is a relatively new
profession concerned with the improved status of individual and com-
munity health through educational activities. While working in a variety
of settings such as volunteer health agencies, public health clinics, ele-
mentary and secondary schools, or health-planning organizations, the
health educator facilitates health-promoting behavior changes as a
means to enriching the quality of life. The health educator uses tech-
niques and information from both medical and educational fields in order
to assist individuals and communities dealing with emotional, physical,
or social aspects of health.
Since health has psychological, physical, and social components, the
program of study is organized to help students develop an understand-
ing of each of these, as well as their interaction. Courses during the first
part of the program emphasize the foundations of health education in
the social and life sciences. Practical experience in health education is
included throughout the program to provide the student with an oppor-
tunity to apply theory and techniques with Boston area groups. Major
courses on contemporary health issues help prepare the student to
understand the details and complexities of several important health top-
ics. Educational issues and approaches are included in courses to help
students understand the role of education in improving health.
Overall, the program of study is intended to produce graduates with
the competence to assess the health education needs of groups and to
develop, organize, and evaluate effective educational activities.
Throughout the program of study, the concepts of prevention, health
promotion, wellness, and holistic health serve as common threads in
professional preparation. The development of specific competencies for
health education roles is an objective of the program.
Certification Upon successful completion of the requirements for
graduation in School Health Education, students are eligible to apply for
Certification to teach in the public schools of Massachusetts. Certifica-
tion is also readily obtained in other states having certification reciprocity
agreements with the Massachusetts Department of Education. There are
no certification criteria for students in Community Health Education.
However, all students must satisfy departmental requirements before
being approved for graduation in School and/or Community Health Ed-
ucation.
Accreditation The professional program in School Health Education is
accredited by the Interstate Certification Compact.

Department Services
All-University Electives in Health
Education
The program in School and Connmunity Health Education is interested in
the health status of the University comnnunity. In an attempt to meet the
health needs of students, several elective courses are offered regularly
on selected health issues of potential personal and professional interest
to any University student. Courses on topics such as stress and health,
nutrition, sexuality, mental health, consumer health, drug use/abuse, and
aging are designed to provide current information and concepts related
to wellness and health promotion. Instruction is organized into lectures,
discussion groups, and demonstrations to provide students with the
opportunity to understand the significance and application of recent
health-related research findings in their own lives.
All-University Elective Courses in
Physical Education
A broad selection of electives in dance, sports, games, aquatics, and
gymnastics is offered for all University students. All classes are open to
men or to women with instructional modifications where appropriate.
The elective program places focus on the lifetime use of sports,
dance, and aquatics for recreational satisfaction and participation.
Classes are subject to cancellation if enrollments are too low.
Dance Theatre
The Northeastern University Dance Theatre offers students interested in
dance as a performing art the opportunity to choreograph and/or per-
form in concert. In addition to an annual University concert production,
this group presents several lecture-demonstrations and/or community
concerts each year. Admission to the dance group is by audition.
Intramural and Extramural Sports
Students are provided the opportunity to participate in a comprehensive
program of intramural and extramural sports through clubs, leagues,
and individual participation. Separate leagues are organized for com-
muting, dormitory, and fraternity students. Intramural sports are orga-
nized separately for men and women and, for certain activities, on a
coeducational basis. Throughout the year, intramural and sports club
participation may be possible in badminton, fencing, football, golf, gym-
nastics, aerobic dance, swimming, volleyball, water polo, and other
sports. A "drop-in" program for individual leisure physical activity is also
provided.
Fenway Project
Since 1973, students in Recreation and Leisure Studies have been com-
mitted to the Fenway Project, providing meaningful recreation services
and activities to youth and adults living in the Fenway area, including
disabled adult residents at Symphony Towers. Students participate as
activity planners and leaders, conducting programs in arts and crafts,
coordinating outings and social events, as well as Big Brother/Big Sister
programs and the annual spring festival. Northeastern students are en-
couraged to participate in all Fenway Project activities.
118/ Boston-Bouve College
Recreation Club
Organized by Recreation and Leisure Studies nnajors, the Recreation
Club participates in projects of student interest which relate to depart-
mental and professional concerns or issues. A newsletter, issued to
students several times a year, informs them of upcoming events in the
department and in professional organizations. The club also plans for
guest speakers, student workshops, information exchange, orientation
programs for new students, and a volunteer service for local programs.

Professional Preparation
Alms The Department of Physical Therapy is dedicated to the prepa-
ration of therapists who can provide services of the highest quality in a
time of changing concepts, new trends, and new challenges. Students
will have the opportunities to acquire the skill to help patients gain func-
tional independence and to learn to recognize and assist with emotional
and socioeconomic problems that affect recovery.
Description of the Major Physical Therapy is one of the health profes-
sions contributing to the delivery of comprehensive health care. The
physical therapist is highly skilled in evaluation procedures and in the
planning and execution of treatment programs appropriate to a patient's
condition or disabilities. Additional responsibilities may include health-
care planning and community service.
Physical therapists are employed in institutions such as general hos-
pitals, children's hospitals, university hospitals, rehabilitation centers,
schools or centers for crippled children, nursing homes, extended-care
facilities, and community, state, and federal agencies. Private practice
is another option chosen by physical therapists. In addition, there are
increasing opportunities in teaching and research in physical therapy.
A View of the Five- Year Major The five-year program in Physical Ther-
apy, based on the cooperative plan, is unique in physical therapy edu-
cation.
The program of study integrates liberal arts and sciences and profes-
sional courses, with major emphasis on liberal arts in the first two years
of the program and on professional preparation in the last three years.
The professional courses include such subjects as anatomy, kinesiology,
pathology, clinical medicine, neurology, orthopedics, physiology, physi-
cal therapy procedures, and administration, as well as clinical experi-
ence in various hospitals and clinics.
Lecturers from Tufts University School of Medicine and the New Eng-
land Medical Center Hospitals, as well as from medical and social agen-
cies in the Boston area, augment the professional staff in the Physical
Therapy program.
Supervised clinical education is a strong component of the curriculum
and a requirement for graduation. Clinical experience provides the stu-
dent with opportunities to practice various phases of physical therapy
under supervision in preparation for qualifying as a physical therapist.
120 / Boston-Bouve College
Assignments in clinical education are not confined to the Boston area.
They may include physical therapy departments throughout the country,
particularly in many states along the eastern seaboard.
Students admitted to the Department of Physical Therapy must main-
tain acceptable standards of scholarship and performance in the pre-
scribed program. They must also demonstrate good health, verbal
fluency, essential motor skills, and emotional maturity; they must com-
plete all required courses and have favorable evaluations from clinical
education and co-op experience. To continue in the program, students
are required to maintain a grade of C or better in all professional
courses, and in all Basic Science prerequisite courses listed in the Ac-
ademic Policy Statement of the Department of Physical Therapy.
All students interested in majoring in physical therapy should contact
the Department of Physical Therapy for information regarding depart-
mental academic policies and procedures.
Clinical Education Students on clinical education assignments should
plan on additional expenses, including travel.

Professional Preparation
Aims This major offers students the opportunity to prepare themselves
for possible careers in one of the areas broadly defined as "human
services." The program is interdisciplinary. The Human Services curric-
ulum allows students to obtain the fundamental attitudes, knowledge,
and skills that can lead to a meaningful career in the helping professions
as well as to a graduate education in a variety of fields.
Students who major in Human Services prepare themselves to per-
form a variety of functions in public and private agencies. Through
course work, two quarters of fieldwork experience, and possible co-op
jobs, students have the opportunity to explore such areas as casework
services in social service and welfare agencies; therapeutic treatment
programs in mental health settings; supportive counseling in community
health centers; rehabilitation counseling services; sheltered workshops;
parole counseling; court liaison in programs for delinquent youth; staff
work in halfway houses, penal institutions, and drug treatment centers;
supportive counseling for the mentally retarded; community organizing;
services for the aging; administration in human services agencies; and
social program research and evaluation.
Description of the l\/lajor The five basic aspects of this program be-
yond the college requirements are:
I. Prerequisite Courses — Courses in the areas of sociology, psychology,
economics, government, and human services.
II. Core Courses — Courses in the areas of statistics, research methods,
personality, abnormal psychology, personality and social structure,
group process, human services organizations, intervention strategies,
and a senior seminar.
III. Specified Electives — Three courses in poverty, minority affairs, and/
or special needs.
IV. Specializations — Five courses that focus on a student's area of inter-
est, selected in consultation with an adviser. "Deaf Studies" and other
structured specializations are being developed.
V. Supervised Field Experience — During the junior and senior years, stu-
dents spend 300 hours in supervised placement in public or private
agencies, usually in separate experiences of 150 hours each.
Note: Computer Literacy must be demonstrated prior to graduation.

Human Services / 123
A View of the Five- Year l\1ajor The Human Services major offers stu-
dents the opportunity to obtain useful values and basic knowledge relat-
ing to various human services fields. Courses introducing some basic
skills can help them to understand and work with a variety of helping
services.
Human Services students at Northeastern have been very active in
their major and helpful to each other. The Human Services Student Or-
ganization combines social and career-related activities, which in the
past have included open houses, day-long conferences, and weekend
retreats. A quarterly Human Services Newsletter is published by stu-
dents and faculty.

Professional Preparation
The College of Business Administration offers concentrations in the prin-
cipal fields of business: Accounting, Entrepreneurship and New Venture
Management (Small Business Management), Finance and Insurance,
Human Resources Management, International Business, Management,
Marketing, and Transportation and Physical Distribution Management.
There is also a provision for those students who wish to design their own
concentrations.
These programs are designed for men and women seeking to prepare
themselves for managerial responsibility in business, government, and
other organizations with the goal of developing the ability to recognize
and solve problems and to understand the role of the business firm in
the community, the nation, and the world.
In developing these skills, the students have the opportunity to gain
not only a broad understanding of business and organizational problems
through specialized courses, but also firsthand knowledge of effective
solutions. Forty to sixty percent of the course work in the College of
Business Administration concentrations is centered outside business to
ensure a liberal education.
All concentrations are offered only on the five-year Cooperative Plan,
providing most students with substantial practical experience, usually in
the fields for which they are preparing.
Aims In keeping with the current trends in collegiate education, the
College has adopted the following educational aims:
1 . To develop attitudes and ideals that are ethically sound and so-
cially desirable;
2. To cultivate an awareness of the social, political, and economic
developments to which the business firm must adapt;
3. To develop the habits of accurate thinking that are essential to
sound judgment and the habits of accurate expression that are
essential to effective communication;
4. To provide an opportunity for students to develop a specialization
in business in accordance with their interests and talents.
128 / College of Business Administration
A View of the Five- Year Program The College of Business Adminis-
tration offers a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration degree
and has concentrations of courses in several areas. The College com-
bines its business curriculum with courses from the sciences, humani-
ties, and social sciences. Students must take courses in these areas to
ensure the well-rounded background that is so valuable in the business
world.
All students in the College are required to complete, in addition to
their academic courses, the program of cooperative education. This
program gives the student the opportunity to challenge and reinforce in
the work place the theories and techniques learned in the classroom. In
a similar way, the "well, that's the way they do it in my co-op company"
attitudes can be and are questioned in the classroom. This double-
faceted approach enhances the whole education process and generally
produces graduates with a more realistic understanding of the work
place. Cooperative work assignments generally are paid, full-time,
professional positions with organizations both in the profit and not-for-
profit private sector and in government. Work assignments are for six
months of each year above the freshman level.
After the foundation-laying and tools-oriented course work (combined
with a large number of nonbusiness courses) of the first two years, the
final three years emphasize the various functional areas of business and
require students to concentrate their studies in specific areas. (Detailed
descriptions of these areas follow this section.) In most of these upper-
division courses the traditional lecture-and-recitation format is supple-
mented by problem-solving and case-study methods. Using these, stu-
dents analyze actual businesses and business problems and present
recommendations for possible solutions. Students are encouraged to
develop the ability to think independently, to support ideas with fact and
logic, and to analyze and challenge propositions. The added experience
of co-op work assignments, when combined with course work, offers
each student practical exposure to the responsibilities of various admin-
istrative positions as well as help in determining the kind of organization
in which he or she would like to work. Special classrooms have been
designed for the College to facilitate the case method of instruction.
During the 1980s, the outlook for exciting careers in Business Admin-
istration is optimistic. The challenges that business faces from the ef-
fects of foreign policy, high technology, affirmative-action regulations,
and new economic policies tend to create a demand for highly trained
individuals equipped to analyze the complex problems of our modern-
day economy.
Upon completion of the Bachelor of Science in Business Administra-
tion degree, the graduate may choose to enter the work force (many
former students have assumed full-time positions with former co-op em-
ployers) or go on to pursue higher degrees.
In general, students find that graduate schools view a B.S. degree in
Business as solid preparation for graduate work, not only in business
but also in public administration, health-care administration, and edu-
cation administration. Law schools look favorably on the prelegal back-
ground obtained in business school. Although the Association of
American Law Schools does not recommend particular courses or cur-
ricula for prelegal students, it does advise undergraduates to develop
College of Business Administration / 1 29
critical understanding of the institutions and values witti which the law
deals. Many careers in law are directly involved in the business world,
either in large corporations or in private practice.
The College's curriculum offers students the opportunity to develop a
broad understanding of the business environment, as well as to acquire
the specific skills necessary to manage organizations in today's complex
social and legal environment.
Honors Program
A place in the Honors Program of the College is extended to juniors and
seniors who, at the end of the first quarter of their middler year, rank in
the top ten percent of the class. These students are given preference in
obtaining entrance to any of the College's honors seminars. They may
also participate in a Senior Honors Thesis Project, an independent re-
search project under the careful supervision and direction of a faculty
member.
The Honors Program was incorporated to:
— provide opportunities to bring together the best students and faculty
in stimulating courses and other academic activities;
— increase the knowledge and professional skills of outstanding stu-
dents;
— enhance the employment or further educational objectives of gifted
students;
— develop increased respect in academic and professional communi-
ties for the College's students and programs; and
— facilitate course and curriculum experimentation into new and un-
charted areas.
Any Honors Program student who completes twelve quarter hours of
honors-level work at a B average or higher will receive special recogni-
tion of this achievement on the transcript.
Business Administration as a
Minor Course of Study
The College of Business Administration faculty, realizing that many stu-
dents may have an interest in business yet major in other disciplines,
offers a Minor in Business Administration. The College of Arts and Sci-
ences, which teaches some of the courses, collaborated in the design
of the minor.
The program has been designed so that students who complete the
minor will gain a background in disciplines that serve as foundation
courses for the study of business and as an exposure to its various
functional areas. In addition there is an exploration of the relationship
between business and society and the obligations of each to the other.
Students of the Basic Colleges other than Business Administration
may find the minor particularly attractive if they are considering a career
in business and/or are contemplating enrolling in an MBA program, but
are not sure what is involved in the study of business. Qualified students
who have completed the five background and methodology courses
apply for formal admission to the minor after they have accumulated
eighty or more quarter hours of credit.

Accounting Concentration
Professional Preparation
Alms If you are anticipating a career in accounting, your interests
probably lie within one of its two nnajor areas: industrial accounting or
public accounting. To enable you to obtain sonne of the professional
background necessary to enter these fields, the College of Business
Administration offers a variety of financial accounting and nnanagerial
accounting courses.
Preparation for a career in accounting encompasses a broad range
of activities. These include all phases of record keeping, internal and
external reporting, financial planning, cost control, the design and in-
stallation of systems and procedures, the application of electronic and
other modern business methods to these activites, and managerial de-
cision making.
Accounting is a fast-growing and cntical area of business. It is an
exacting field that requires men and women who enjoy dealing with facts
and figures as well as with people. It requires accuracy and an ability to
reason and to interpret business data.
A View of the Five-Year Concentration During your first two years,
you will have the opportunity to develop communicative and analytical
abilities, to gain an understanding of the nature of accounting, and to
survey business as a dynamic institution in an economic setting. Another
important activity will be consultation with your coordinator from the
Department of Cooperative Education about future work assignments.
Subjects in your third year will include courses in the various functional
areas of business (marketing, finance, operations, personnel), statistical
analyses, and economic activity.
Whether your choice of employment is in the industrial accounting or
public accounting area, you will have the opportunity to prepare through
specialized courses in your third and subsequent years. Subjects will
include cost accounting, accounting theory, planning and control, audit-
ing, and taxes.
In addition to the sample freshman-year program and basic course
requirements listed on page 131, students who concentrate in account-
ing are required to take the following courses:

Entrepreneurship and New Venture
Management Concentration
Professional Preparation
Aims The concentration in Entrepreneurship and New Venture Man-
agement (Small Business Management) offers students who plan to op-
erate their own businesses an opportunity to develop skills necessary
for the effective management of small enterprises.
Description of the Concentration Have you ever thought about start-
ing, acquiring, and operating your own business? Will you be faced with
an opportunity to join a family business upon graduation? Have your
views of or experience with large corporations made you think about life
in a smaller organization? Or do you think you would get a real kick out
of working for a small company and wish to learn more about opportu-
nities with smaller firms?
Are you considering a career in sales management, banking, public
accounting, management consulting, or other areas that may involve
you directly with owners and managers of new and small companies?
For example, a bank loan officer, sales manager, or CPA would often
have many entrepreneurs and small-company officers as clients.
If your answer to any of these questions is yes, then you are probably
a member of a unique and growing portion of Northeastern students and
young people everywhere whose career definition of "doing your own
thing" encompasses self-employment or work in a small company or
other organization.
A concentration in this field offers you a thorough "start-to-finish" per-
spective. The concentration provides courses that deal with each of
these key questions:
1 . What are the characteristics of people who start their own compa-
nies, and what does it take to start and build a new business?
2. What are some key sources of business opportunities, and how
does one assess the feasibility of a particular venture?
3. What sources exist for raising seed capital, and how does one
acquire it?
4. What are the critical problems and opportunities in successfully
managing a smaller company, and what are the appropriate man-
agerial methods?
5. What are the key issues in financing and managing an ongoing,
growing venture, and how can these be applied to small ven-
tures?
A View of the Five- Year Concentration Courses in this concentration
benefit students in several ways. They offer the opportunity to develop
an ability to assess personal aptitude and potential for small business,
to find and evaluate business opportunities, to secure adequate funding,
and to organize and manage the various facets of the small business-
marketing, finance, control, and personnel.
Entrepreneurship and New Venture Management presents students
with the opportunity to prepare for a career in which they can be involved
in the management of a business while maintaining a significant degree
of autonomy and independence. Some students will enter this career at
graduation or sometimes even before. However, many find that thev
obtain their first experience through cooperative work and postgraduate
employment prior to establishing their own enterprises.

Finance and Insurance Concentration
Professional Preparation
Aims The objective of the Finance and Insurance concentration is to
train students for the financial management of businesses, nonprofit
organizations, and governmental units. Preparation is twofold: students
are offered information about current practices, theories, and concepts
of financial management and have the opportunity to gain experience in
analyzing situations that require financial decisions.
Description of the Concentration Almost every phase of economic
activity involves aspects of financial management — of cash or other
funds and of economic resources available to the individual, the busi-
ness, or other economic unit.
Perhaps you can visualize your future career in one of the many areas
of funds management: security analysis, estate planning, corporate fi-
nance and control, financial planning, security or insurance brokerage,
underwriting, credit management, and banking. If so, you should con-
sider the Finance and Insurance Concentration.
There are also career possibilities in specific financial institutions that
perform indispensable services for present-day business and industry.
Among these are banks, insurance companies, investment houses,
credit concerns, financial service institutions, mortgage companies, and
national and local real estate brokerage firms and appraisers.
Career openings can be sought in all areas of business, industry, and
government, where financial planning and operation are vital.
A View of the Five-Year Concentration As a middler, you will take i
Introduction to Finance and beginning courses in other business fields.
Following the introductory course, your required courses are Managerial
Finance, Investment Management, and Money and Business Activity.
Besides these required courses, many electives are available, including
Securities Markets, Small Business Finance, Management of Financial
Institutions, and Insurance. In addition, an independent study often may
be an appropriate elective.
Specialization occurs in your upperclass years as you take advanced '
courses in insurance, investments, security markets, and basic business
finance. To provide you with a well-rounded education, other courses
are available, particularly in the broad area of economics.
All courses offered by the Department of Finance and Insurance are ,
open to students in any concentration provided they have taken the |l|
prerequisite subjects. Instructors may waive prerequisite courses in 'i
special circumstances.
Finance and Insurance / 135
Subfields
Managerial Finance The two objectives of the finance function in the
contemporary corporation or business entity include:
1 , Providing needed funds on terms that are the most favorable in
view of current planning;
2. Regulating the flow of funds to maximize the realization of objec-
tives.
The key concerns of financial management are the capital structure
of the business and the optimal manner in which its assets should be
held. With only minor differences, these same broad objectives apply to
the finance function of nonprofit organizations, including those in the
public sector (units of government).
Management of Financial Institutions This area of specialization is
broadly based within the subject area and is applicable to a variety of
financial institutions and positions within them.
The three major topics of consideration in this area of specialization
are:
1 . The institutional structure of the financial system and the relation
between it and the surplus and deficit units of the whole economy;
2. Asset, liability, and capital management problems of financial in-
termediaries;
3. Investment analysis and portfolio management policies appropri-
ate to different financial intermediaries.
Investment and Management Analysis Two benefits result from
studying this concentration. First, students can gain a general under-
standing, which may help them manage their own affairs. Second, those
seeking professional careers in organizations where the investment
function is paramount (industrial and utility corporations, real estate de-
velopments, financial institutions, and many governmental agencies are
a few examples) will find this subfield of great assistance.
The concentration offers preparation in the specialized skills and prin-
ciples that can benefit students who are interested in careers as invest-
ment managers or security analysts in the following organizations;
1. Stock exchanges, investment advisory firms, brokers-dealers, un-
derwriters, mutual funds, and other investment companies that are
a part of the securities markets;
2. Insurance companies, commercial banks, savings and loan asso-
ciations, trust companies, mutual savings associations, and orga-
nizations involved in the activities of the securities markets; or
3. Federal and state governmental agencies such as the SEC, FDIC,
Treasury Department, IRS, and others having regulatory responsi-
bilities regarding the securities markets and their participants.
Insurance and Risk Management Risk management is the process
of identifying, measuring, evaluating, and treating important risks. It is a
relatively new, but growing, part of the management function in business
as well as in government and other nonprofit organizations. Insurance is
an important method of risk financing in all organizations, including the
family unit. Some individuals may study one or a few courses in insur-
ance and risk management to broaden their understanding of this area
136 / College of Business Administration
in order to better manage their personal affairs or to familiarize them-
selves with this area as part of their general management preparation.
Others may wish to specialize in this area and seek careers in the risk
management function in business as managers of corporate employee
benefits programs; or as managers, adjusters, or underwriters in life
insurance companies, property and liability insurance companies, insur-
ance brokerage firms, insurance agencies, independent adjusting firms;
or in a number of other careers in this vast field.
The freshman-year program of studies and the basic course require-
ments for the College of Business Administration are the same for all the
concentration areas. See page 131.

Human Resources Management
Concentration
Professional Preparation
Alms Human resources management, which focuses on the effective
utilization of people at work, is an extension of personnel and labor
relations but includes more than the traditional areas of recruitment,
selection, compensation, and training. A human resources manager also
must be knowledgeable about manpower planning, equal employment
opportunity laws and affirmative action procedures, organizational de-
velopment, career planning, job design and motivation, leadership, and
communications. The ultimate goal of human resources managers is to
provide an organization with the people who will be most effective in
their jobs.
Description of the Concentration In recent years there has been a
growing interest in the quality of the employee's work life and its relation
to the efficient production of goods and services. Companies such as
Proctor and Gamble, AT&T, General Motors, and Burlington Mills, as well
as a growing number of organizations in the public sector, are paying
more and more attention to the quality of human performance at work
and the level of human contributions to output. At a time when financial
resources and investment capital are becoming scarcer, many organi-
zations are beginning to take a closer look at the management of their
people, their most precious resource. In recognition of this growing in-
terest. Northeastern University's College of Business Administration offers
an undergraduate concentration in Human Resources Management.
The effective management of human resources calls for a joint part-
nership among such organizational specialists as personnel administra-
tors, labor relations negotiators, wage and salary analysts, and
operating line managers in the various functional areas (marketing, fi-
nance, production) of the company. As the traditional role of personnel
administration is expanded to include affirmative action programs, job
International Business / 137
enrichnnent, and organizational development activities, career opportu-
nities in the fields of labor relations and personnel administration are
likely to expand in both the public and private sectors.
For the student whose career aspirations lie in fields other than per-
sonnel and labor relations, one important point should be made; human
resources management is not a specialized activity confined to the per-
sonnel department. Whether you start your career as a work-flow analyst
in manufacturing, a customer service assistant in marketing, a field au-
ditor in the accounting department, or a hospital unit manager, you will
be required to demonstrate skills in working with individuals and groups
to achieve desired results.
A View of the Five-Year Concentration Human resources manage-
ment IS practiced not only by specialists in the area of personnel and
labor relations, but also by line managers and specialists in many other
business areas. The Human Resources Management concentration is
structured to expose students to all major functions of personnel admin-
istration and labor relations.

International Business Concentration
Professional Preparation
Aims In recent years, several factors have contributed to a rapidly
increasing need for qualified people in the field of international business.
The growth of multinational firms, international trade, and regional inter-
national trading blocs has created a shortage of skilled managers who
are equipped to analyze the complexities of international business prob-
lems.
The International Business concentration offers students the opportu-
nity to prepare themselves to meet these management needs. It offers
the opportunity to develop an understanding of problems involved in
operating business enterprises across national boundaries and to de-
velop the ability to analyze the operations of businesses in multinational
environments.
The curriculum consists of a broad education provided by course
requirements in arts and sciences, a basic business education provided
by business administration core requirements, and a specialized edu-
cation in International Business.
Description of the Concentration The International Business concen-
tration consists of six courses. Two of them are required: Introduction to
International Business and Seminar in International Business. There are
also four electives: two from the International Business curriculum and
two Business Electives. In addition, two of the Non-Business Electives
must be chosen from the International List (see page 139).
138 / College of Business Administration
When you enroll in the International Business concentration, you will
find that its structure is flexible, permitting you to have a dual concentra-
tion. For example, you may concentrate in International Business and
use open electives to fulfill the requirement of a second concentration.
The dual concentration has advantages for those seeking employment
opportunities in traditional functional areas (e.g., production, marketing,
finance), which also take place in an international setting. All College of
Business Administration courses that are offered as part of the Interna-
tional Business Administration concentration are available to students in
other concentrations during their middler, junior, and senior years.
A View of the Five- Year Concentration Careers in international busi-
ness are best pursued in companies that carry on trade or manufactur-
ing operations in foreign countries. An increasing number of
multinational firms require that candidates for their top management
positions have prior experience in international operations. In addition,
large banks and insurance companies want their managers to under-
stand international business. Other types of organizations — government,
trade associations, large unions — require international business knowl-
edge. The opportunity for foreign travel in any of these capacities is
frequently available.
Students who choose this concentration have the opportunity to gain
an understanding of the economic, political, and social constraints on
international business and to develop skills in analyzing the financial,
marketing, and operational strategies of the multinational firm.
Arts and Sciences electives such as modern languages, political sci-
ence, international economics, geography, and cultural anthropology —
all appropriate to the understanding of international relations — are highly
recommended to complement this concentration.
The freshman-year program of studies and the basic course require-
ments for the College of Business Administration are the same for all the
concentration areas. See page 131 .

Management Concentration
Professional Preparation
Aims Do your career interests lie in the broad area of administration
rather than in specialized fields? The Management concentration offers
you the opportunity to prepare yourself for a wide variety of administra-
tive careers in business, government, and nonprofit institutions.
Description of the Concentration As a Management student you
must have a basic understanding of all organization functions: account-
ing, marketing, finance, and operations. Your courses in these areas
offer you an overview of these areas, including their interrelation and the
ways they can be used as management tools. For example, your study
of accounting can be used as a helpful tool in the decision-making
process, rather than as a specialty in itself. A similar approach is used
in courses in other areas.
140 / College of Business Administration
Since management is the process of getting things done through
people, your professors pay significant attention to "people problems"
to stress the importance of developing an effective work force.
The courses in the Management concentration vary considerably in
content and method of instruction because they vary in their objectives.
In most, students are heavily involved in the conducting of classes and
are required to work on group assignments. The purpose of this partici-
patory approach is to help prepare you for the demands of management
in the business community.
A View of the Five- Year Concentration The curriculum and teaching
methods center around the development of basic skills and knowledge
appropriate to administration, rather than upon specialized functional
techniques. Although the case method of study is used extensively, a
variety of teaching methods consistent with particular course objectives
are employed. The basic objectives of the concentration are to confront
the student with appropriate learning expenences, to help increase stu-
dents' skills and knowledge in basic disciplines underlying administra-
tive practice, and to help students develop judgment and skills in
organizational problem analysis and decision making.
The freshman-year program of studies and the basic course require-
ments for the College of Business Administration are the same for all the
concentration areas. See page 180.

Marketing Concentration
Professional Preparation
Aims A business organization not only designs and manufactures
products, but also markets and sells them to manufacturers, whole-
salers, retailers, and consumers. This is what a concentration in market-
ing is all about.
Description of the Concentration All the business activities that di-
rect the flow of goods and services from producer to consumer are
classified as marketing concerns. The marketing process begins by
determining the needs and wants of customers. Once these wants and
needs are established, the organization's first objective is to produce
goods or services to satisfy a particular consumer. Essential in all types
of business are such activities as product design, research, pricing,
packaging, transportation, advertising, selling, and servicing. The over-
all responsibility for these functions rests with the marketing manager.
Marketing / 141
The Marketing Concentration offers a wide variety of courses, taught
by lecture and class discussion. Included are such courses as Market-
ing Management, Advertising, Sales Management, Consumer Behavior,
and Competitive Strategy.
A View of the Five-Year Concentration Outside the classroom, stu
dents may attend weekly meetings of the American Marketing Associa-
tion Student Chapter, through which they may further their interests by
discussing issues with leaders in the field.
Without successful marketing and advertising, industhal products re-
main unsold. More and more companies are finding that today's tempo
of progress and high levels of production require up-to-date marketing
techniques to generate a higher sales volume.
As members of the management policy group, marketing executives
take a broad view of all aspects of business management and policy.
They also serve effectively as trained specialists in their own areas.
Success in the market is vital to every company, whatever its size.
Therefore, the need for adaptable and informed marketing management
exists in all types of business and industry.
The freshman-year program of studies and the basic course require-
ments for the College of Business Administration are the same for all the
concentration areas. See page 131 .

Transportation and Physical Distribution
Management Concentration
Professional Preparation
Aims Transportation is an integral part of national and international
distribution systems. It is a determining factor in the availability and
prices of goods and services in our economy.
In corporate distribution, transportation specialists operate within a
complex organizational framework in which goods are stored and
moved. Effective management of this distnbution process involves un-
derstanding inventory control, warehousing, transportation options, and
the interaction of these activities with other functional operations.
Growing concern with the economic and service conditions of the
transportation industry has also created career positions with govern-
ment agencies engaged in transportation policy development and ad-
ministration. Other career possibilities are to be sought with carriers
such as airlines, railroads, and trucking companies, which actively seek
people who are familiar with the operational and regulatory aspects of
their business.
142 / College of Business Administration
The Transportation and Physical Distribution Management concentra-
tion offers students opportunities to prepare for these diverse career
opportunities.
Description of the Concentration The concentration offers the stu-
dent a balanced background in Transportation and Physical Distribution
Management. Courses consider not only the viewpoint of the corporate
shipper and carriers, but also those of public officials, in addition to
consumer interests. Courses have a strong contemporary orientation
and promote frequent interaction with practitioners from business and
government.
A View of the Five- Year Concentration Course offerings in Transpor-
tation and Physical Distribution Management are sequential so that stu-
dents who desire only an introductory exposure may take one or several
courses as part of a broader business background. An undergraduate
concentration in the area consists of six courses. Four are required
courses, with the balance of the concentration composed of eiectives.
The freshman-year program of studies and the basic course require-
ments for the College of Business Administration are the same for all the
concentration areas. See page 131.

Professional Preparation
The College of Computer Science offers students the opportunity to
concentrate in the broad field of computer science. The program is
designed for men and women who are seeking to prepare themselves
for productive careers in industry, government, or other organizations
that design, develop, market, or utilize computing systems. A fundamen-
tal goal of the College is to help students develop the ability to recognize
and solve problems arising in the use of modern digital computers in
business and engineering as well as in educational and research envi-
ronments.
In developing the skills necessary to achieve this goal, the student
has the opportunity to assimilate ideas and concepts from theoretical
studies; in-depth, hands-on programming of both large time-sharing
systems and single-user microcomputers; and practical insight gained
from the cooperative education experience.
The concentration in Computer Science is offered primarily on the five-
year Cooperative Plan because of the inherent value of experience
gained in an actual computer-oriented working environment.
Aims Recognizing that the advance of technological innovation casts
the computer in ever-widening roles and brings the concept of the "in-
formation society" closer to reality, the College has adopted the following
aims:
146 / College of Computer Science
1 . To understand the scientific principles that serve as the founda-
tion of computer science;
2. To develop the habits of accurate thinking that are essential to the
description and efficient analysis of computer-related problems;
3. To cultivate an awareness of the common features and mathemat-
ical bases of a wide variety of computational issues arising in ap-
parently unrelated information-processing applications;
4. To communicate ideas and approaches in a clear and concise
manner in a style appropriate to the audience;
5. To maintain an adequate awareness of the pace of information
technology in order to lead innovation rather than follow it.
A View of the Five- Year Program Although students of computer sci-
ence concern themselves, on the surface, with the languages used in
writing computer programs, their involvement in the study of software
design goes much deeper. Students have the opportunity to study the
application of computers to many fields and to consider various ap-
proaches to storing maximal amounts of information in a system's stor-
age devices while minimizing the time it takes to retrieve that information.
How to select the best computer system for a particular application is of
concern. Since errors can accumulate in computer calculations, com-
puter science students are also expected to study ways in which such
errors can be detected and minimized. A newly emerging topic is the
methodology of program structure and design — a concern directed at
determining the best approach to organizing large problems so that the
chance for error, the difficulty of detecting an error, and the cost of
correcting an error are minimized.
The Computer Science Program is designed in accordance with the
recommendations of two large, national professional societies — the As-
sociation for Computing Machinery and the Mathematics Association of
America. It offers a well-rounded and flexible program in which students
are expected to fulfill certain minimum course requirements but are pro-
vided an unusually wide selection of electives from which to choose. In
this way, students have the chance to plan a program of study according
to the particular fields of computer applications most interesting to them.
On balance, the program offers a strong foundation in mathematics
and a variety of program design and analysis courses. The requirement
for seven quarters of social science/humanities electives provides op-
portunity for students to broaden their horizons and to obtain a cultural
context in which to imbed the technical concepts of computer science.

Professional Preparation
Aims Established in 1966 under a grant from the Ford Foundation, the
College of Criminal Justice offers its students the opportunity to prepare
for professional careers in the fields of criminal justice and private se-
curity; through its prelegal studies concentration, many students also
prepare for entry to law school. The curriculum has been designed to
offer students a broad academic foundation upon which to base a
professional concentration of courses that introduce students to specific
career areas. Legal studies, law enforcement, private security, correc-
tions, probation and parole, and forensic science are some of the areas
of interest pursued by students. It is also expected that a number of
graduates will choose advanced study in academic fields such as crim-
inology, forensic science, social work, public administration, private se-
curity, and law, as well as in the entire area of criminal justice.
The College was founded to help prepare students to enter profes-
sions that deal with some of the most important social issues of our
times. To deal with these issues and to help prepare graduates for
careers that are rewarding and beneficial, innovative methods and
ideas, as well as the most advanced thinking, are utilized by the College
of Criminal Justice. As a reflection of its significant role in higher educa-
tion, the College has received substantial grants from the Department of
Justice and was designated both as a training center in criminal justice
and as a center of education and innovation in the field of criminal justice
and forensic science.
A View of the Five-Year Program The College of Criminal Justice
offers a five-year academic program on the Cooperative Plan of Educa-
tion, which allows a candidate for the baccalaureate degree to under-
take a specialized program of study. It is anticipated that co-op
assignments may include work in Parole or Probation Offices, law firms,
police departments, private security agencies, public or private institu-
tions, social agencies, prisons, planning and evaluation units, or other
areas related to the criminal justice program.
152 / College of Criminal Justice
Students are offered a broad educational background for future roles
in criminal justice, private security, or law. Because students are prepar-
ing for careers involving the social problems of people from all walks of
life, course work in the social sciences, behavioral sciences, and the
humanities is integrated with professional courses. The liberal content of
the curriculum is highly desirable not only for its value as a foundation
upon which general intellectual development may be based, but also as
an indispensable educational requirement for professional develop-
ment.
Graduates must be prepared to judge objectively the many socioeco-
nomic problems inherent in the administration of justice in contemporary
American society. The College of Criminal Justice helps to prepare stu-
dents for careers that will be not only personally productive and reward-
ing, but intellectually stimulating as well.
Graduation Requirements
Candidates for the Bachelor of Science degree must complete ail the
prescribed work of the curriculum, a total of 1 72 quarter hours of credit.
Students who undertake the Cooperative Education Program must
meet the requirements of the Department of Cooperative Education be-
fore they become eligible for their degrees.
No student transferring from another college or university is eligible to
receive a degree until at least one year of academic work immediately
preceding graduation has been completed at Northeastern.
Graduation with Honors
Candidates who have achieved superior grades in their academic work
will be graduated cum laude. Upon special vote of the faculty, a limited
number of this group may be graduated magna cum laude or summa
cum laude. Students must have been in attendance at the University for
at least six academic quarters before they become eligible for honors at
graduation.

Professional Preparation
The College of Engineering prepares students to participate construc-
tively in a technologically changing world, thus contributing as profes-
sional engineers to the accumulation and application of new knowledge.
Fundamentals are emphasized, thus offering students the opportunity to
obtain the basic technical knowledge necessary to practice in a variety
of positions. At the same time, study of the social sciences and human-
ities provides an awareness of the social, economic, political, aesthetic,
and philosophical influences that are part of the context in which stu-
dents will practice their professions.
Aims The concept of education as a continuing, lifelong process nec-
essary for effective work in an environment of constantly new facts,
ideas, and scientific principles underlies the structure of the engineering
curriculum.
Engineering education is directed toward assisting students to:
1 . Understand the scientific principles and knowledge of the particu-
lar branch of engineering selected;
2. Comprehend and develop competence in the engineering
method and its application;
3. Communicate effectively and succinctly the important results of
any technical study both verbally and graphically;
4. Acquire the motivation for continuing professional growth.
A View of the Five- Year Program
The College of Engineering offers five-year cooperative programs in
Chemical, Civil, Electrical, Industrial, and Mechanical Engineering lead-
ing to the degree of Bachelor of Science with specification according to
the engineering department in which the student qualifies. The College
also offers a General Engineering Program, which leads to the awarding
of an unspecified Bachelor of Science degree, through which students
have the opportunity to design a curriculum suited to their objectives.
The various curricula offer students the opportunity to prepare effectively
for employment in industry or postgraduate study.
The undergraduate program begins with three quarters of full-time
study. Course work during the first year helps to build students' under-
standing of mathematics and the physical sciences and to improve their
ability to communicate ideas both verbally and graphically.
The freshman courses act as a foundation for upperclass studies.
They assist students in developing a basic understanding of concepts
in the engineering sciences and introduce them to the engineering
method and its application. About four-fifths of the upperclass program
156 / College of Engineering
is devoted to scientific and technological study, and about one-fifth to
humanistic-social courses, with the aim of balancing the students' grow-
ing technical proficency with an appreciation of the nontechnical as-
pects of society and culture.
Cooperative work in the chosen branch of engineering begins upon
completion of the freshman year and continues throughout the remaining
upperclass years. The work assignments during this time may be most
valuable in helping to integrate the important elements of both an engi-
neering and a liberal arts education. They can also be instrumental in
teaching the value of teamwork and, at the same time, helping the stu-
dent to acquire insight into the problems of actual engineering practice.
Five- Year B.S.-M.S. Programs
Several departments (Electrical and Computer, Industrial Engineering
and Information Systems, and Mechanical) offer programs leading to
both the Bachelor's and Master's degrees in five years. Students with
outstanding academic records (3.0 or better) may carry extra courses
and in the senior year, forego one cooperative work quarter to complete
the course requirements for both degrees.
Part-Time Program Offered
During Evening Hours
The College of Engineering also offers a six-year, part-time curriculum
leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Civil, Electrical, or Me-
chanical Engineering . Classes are held in the evening. Admission and
course requirements are the same as for the five-year cooperative de-
gree programs. For further information, consult the evening bulletin of
the College of Engineering, or call the College's Office of Student Ser-
vices at 437-2154.
Computer Facilities
The College provides students with ample computer facilities to support
coursework and research activities. These facilities include a Digital VAX
11/785 system with 32 student terminals; a Data General MV/8000 with
30 student terminals; a Computervision Computer-Aided Design and
Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) system with eight advanced workstations;
and 33 IBM XTs in a local area network to support computer graphics
and design courses. In addition, the university computer center provides
60 terminals for two VAX 1 1 /780s and 40 networked IBM PCs for student
use.
The departments provide a variety of mini- and micro-computer facili-
ties to support special coursework and research.
Graduation Requirements
Degrees The College awards the Bachelor of Science degree in
Chemical, Civil, Electrical, Industrial, and Mechanical Engineering, as
well as the Bachelor of Science degree without specification.
Qualification for Degrees Candidates for the Bachelor of Science
degree must complete all of the prescribed work of the curriculum in
which they seek to qualify with no academic deficiencies. Students who
undertake cooperative work assignments must complete a minimum of
four quarters of cooperative work experience approved by the Depart-
ment of Cooperative Education.
Students transferring from another college or university are not eligible
to receive the Bachelor of Science degree until they have completed at
least one academic year at Northeastern immediately preceding their
graduation. ^
College of Engineering / 157
Graduation with Honors
Candidates who have attained superior grades in their academic work
will be graduated cum laude. Upon special vote of the faculty, a limited
number of this group may be graduated magna cum laude or summa
cum laude. Students must have been in attendance at the University at
least six quarters before they may become eligible for honors at gradu-
ation.
Accreditation
All undergraduate day programs with specification, offered solely by the
College of Engineering, as well as the part-time evening programs in
Civil, Electncal, and Mechanical Engineering are accredited by the En-
gineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for En-
gineering and Technology (ABET) (formerly the Engineer's Council for
Professional Development).
Women in Engineering
More women are entering the field of engineering each year as career
opportunities expand. Industry and government, now aware of the
largely untapped pool of qualified women are eager to provide positions
for competent women engineers. Any woman with scientific or technical
interests should consider the many possibilities offered in engineering.
Approximately 500 undergraduate women are currently enrolled in the
college. The Women in Engineering Program Office maintains an inter-
active data base for academic support and networking. An active chap-
ter of the Society of Women Engineers offers a full schedule of technical
and professional programs.
Minorities in Engineering
Through the Northeastern University Progress in Minorities in Engineer-
ing (NUPRIME) program, the College seeks to expand educational op-
portunities for qualified blacks, Puerto Ricans, Mexican-Amencans, and
Native Americans. It provides scholarships based on merit or need.
Every effort is made to provide enough aid so that outside work is not
necessary during the freshman year. Advising and tutorial services are
among the support services provided by the program.
For more details, contact David C. Blackman, Assistant Dean, and
Director of NUPRIME; Rm. 225SN, Northeastern University, Boston, Mas-
sachusetts 02115.

Professional Preparation
Aims Chemical engineering involves the design, construction, opera-
tion, and management of processes in which materials essential to so-
ciety are produced. The goal of the chemical engineer is to develop
processes which use resources most efficiently, economically, and
safely in an environmentally sound manner.
Since the field of chemical engineering is so varied, the program of
study has been designed to offer students broad training in which fun-
damental principles are stressed, providing them with the strong back-
ground needed to acclimate themselves readily to graduate school or to
an industry of their choice. The basic scientific and engineering knowl-
edge in the program provides the graduate with the skills needed to
respond to rapidly changing technologies in the future.
Description of Chemical Engineering The chemical engineer has
been defined as a "professional experienced in the design, construction,
and operation of plants in which materials undergo chemical and phys-
ical change." It is the task of the chemical engineer to reduce the costs,
increase the production, improve the quality of existing products, and
develop new products. Chemical engineering has grown out of discov-
eries in chemical laboratories which have served as a foundation for a
great many new industries whose production processes involve chemi-
cal as well as physical changes.
The petrochemical, biomedical, pharmaceutical, agricultural chemi-
cals, food processing, plastics and synthetic fibers, energy and syn-
thetic fuels, and waste management areas require men and women
trained in chemistry as well as in engineering. Many older industries
such as pulp and paper, metals and glass production, paints and coat-
ings, textiles and electroplating are also employing chemical engineers.
Computerized process controls are being designed to improve the effi-
ciency of older plants and computer-aided design of new plants is be-
coming increasingly common.
A View of the Five-Year Program The essential background for
chemical engineers is derived from the fundamental courses in chemis-
try, mathematics, and physics, required of all engineering students. Stu-
dents then go on to advanced courses which apply these fundamentals
to the solution of engineering problems. These upperclass courses skill-
fully blend the latest mathematical and theoretical analyses with the
practical aspects of the profession.
Chemical engineering is a rapidly broadening field. Tremendous
growth in research and development is occurring in a wide variety of
areas. Students are provided the opportunity to pursue specialized ca-
reer interests through minors, such as a minor in biology, and through
technical electives.
Chemical Engineering / 159
Laboratories
Selected courses in the curriculum contain laboratory sessions that sup-
plement the presentation of material in lectures. These sessions are
devoted to practice in problem formulation and solution including the
use of computers and standard software packages. The senior course
in process design is largely taught in laboratory sessions, with major
emphasis on computer-aided design and simulation
The research laboratories are designed to acquaint the student with
the experimental approach to the solution of engineering problems and
to develop research interests. Graduate research may be conducted in
such areas as energy, pollution control, catalysis, polymers, process
control, mathematical modeling, and computer applications.
Students are first exposed to the basic measurements in engineering
in experimental methods laboratories, with emphasis on temperature,
pressure, and flow rate. Following this, they are given problems involving
such areas as transport properties, kinetics', thermodynamics, and pro-
cess dynamics, which they must solve experimentally. They are required
to design and conduct the experiment, reduce the data using comput-
ers, and write a final report. Students use pilot-scale chemical engineer-
ing equipment in the experiment, when applicable.

Professional Preparation
Aims A major aim of the Civil Engineering Department is to provide
students with the opportunity to acquire a fundamental, flexible, yet rig-
orous engineering education so that, in view of inevitable change within
the field, graduates will be in a position to build continuously on their
basic knowledge. A wide range of electives in the humanities, social
sciences, and basic sciences encourages students to investigate areas
outside their specific technical focus and to extend their personal inter-
ests and involvements.
Description of Civil Engineering Civil Engineering is the profession
in which a knowledge of the mathematical and physical sciences gained
by study, experience, and practice is applied with judgment to develop
ways to utilize, economically, the materials and forces of nature for the
progressive well-being of mankind. Civil engineers improve and protect
the environment; provide facilities for community living, industry, and
transportation; and provide structures for the use of mankind. The build-
ings people live and work in, transportation systems, city and town ser-
vices, water supply — all reflect creative planning and application of
engineering principles on the part of civil engineers.
Civil engineers measure and map the earth's surface and utilize these
maps to locate their projects. They design and supervise the construc-
tion of bridges, tunnels, buildings, dams, and aqueducts. They build
supporting foundations for these and other structures. Civil engineers
plan, design, construct, and maintain highways, railroads, canals, and \
airports. They regulate rivers and control floods; build docks, pipelines,
sea walls; develop harbors; design and build plants and systems to
bring pure water to homes and factories; design and build systems for
sewage and refuse disposal; drain swamps and irrigate arid areas

Civil Engineering/ 161
A View of the Five-Year Program The five-year study curriculum is
divided into eleven quarters of school and eight quarters of cooperative
work assignments. The work phase is designed to allow the student to
gain insight into all types of activity normally confronted by the civil
engineer. Thus, the well-motivated student can determine from these
work experiences what further course work preparation will be required
to become successful as a practicing civil engineer. The work expen-
ence also may be valuable in stimulating a certain amount of self-sup-
port and independence.
The first years of the curriculum are, for the most part, devoted to the
fundamentals of math, basic sciences, and engineering that comprise
the foundation for later professional studies. The final years are devoted
to a range of professional subjects, both required and elective. Guid-
ance from a faculty adviser is available throughout the academic pro-
gram.
The curriculum is thus intended to offer a'firm educational background
for students preparing for a career in the planning, design, and con-
struction of structures, transportation systems, and environmental sys-
tems as civil engineers.
Upon completion of the requirements for the Bachelor of Science in
Civil Engineering degree, the graduate may choose to enter the engi-
neering profession or to go on to graduate school for advanced training.
The beginning civil engineer will probably find that graduate course work
is a prerequisite for advancement.
During the first period of employment as a graduate, the civil engineer
may expect to spend some time in the field or the office in work involving
design computations, layout work and supervision of construction, or
obtaining and analyzing information for studies and reports. With in-
creased experience, the graduate will be better prepared to take on
greater challenges and more responsibilities.
Graduates normally seek employment in municipal, state, and federal
agencies as well as in private consulting practice, general construction,
and industry.
Environmental Option This option is designed for engineering stu-
dents intending to work in the field of environmental protection and
improvement. Topics included at the undergraduate level are water sup-
ply, treatment and wastewater disposal, solid waste disposal, and air
pollution. The cooperative program, leading to a bachelor's degree in
civil engineering in five years, offers students the opportunity to imme-
diately enter a professional practice in government agencies, industry,
or private consulting firms, depending on the job market as well as their
own industry and abilities.
Part-Time Program
The Civil Engineering Program is also available on a part-time basis. The
classes are scheduled during the evening hours, usually two evenings
per week. The curriculum can be completed in a minimum of six years.
Student Professional Society
Our Student Chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers is a very
active and professional organization and participation in its activities has
proven to be a unique complement to Northeastern's traditional class-
room and co-op experience. In addition to traditional activities, which
include sponsoring a weekly professional lecture series and occasional
162 / College of Engineering
field trips to civil engineering construction sites and constructed facili-
ties, mennbers have successfully completed several significant commu-
nity-service projects valued at approximately a quarter of a million
dollars.
The students have developed and designed innovative and educa-
tional outdoor play exhibits illustrating both natural and man-made phe-
nomena for the Children's Museum of Boston. They have worked with
staff members of the Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr., Memorial Hospital for Chil-
dren in the planning, design, financing, and construction of a special
playground for handicapped children. They have designed and con-
structed an outdoor amphitheater for the Salvation Army's Camp Won-
derland, and performed an investigation of fire evacuation procedures
and building modifications for the Cotting School for the Handicapped.
The students have designed and constructed a play-therapy center for
Boston Children's Services Association and a unique play area for the
Language and Cognitive Development Center. They financed, de-
signed, and constructed a children's group therapy facility with indoor
and outdoor components for the Brookline Mental Health Clinic. Last
year. Student Chapter members financed, designed, and constructed a
new wing for Waltham Hospital's Early Intervention Program facility. Each
year, at least one such community-service project is undertaken.
In recognition of these unusual efforts, our Student Chapter has been
designated as the "single most outstanding" chapter in the nation and
consequently has received the Robert Ridgway Award of the American
Society of Civil Engineers for an unprecedented seven out of eight years
Computer Facilities
The Civil Engineering Department uses a vanety of computer facilities to
complement course work and research. The department has two mini-
computers (a Hewlett-Packard System 45 with interactive graphics and
a Digital LSI-11) for laboratory data acquisition. In addition, Civil Engi-
neering also has a microcomputer facility consisting of IBM personal
computers, Apple lis and MAC 8s. All systems are supported with so-
phisticated software packages with applications to all disciplines of civil
engineering.
Laboratories
The Civil Engineering Department is located in a new, modern building
providing expanded and enhanced laboratory facilities.
Soil Mechanics Laboratory The soils laboratory is equipped to per-
form the full spectrum of soil tests, as well as to conduct model studies.
A wide variety of laboratory equipment permits students to perform
tests ranging from those related to soil classification to sophisticated
triaxial tests to evaluate the stress-strain properties of a soil specimen.
The triaxial tests can be of strain-controlled loading, stress-controlled
loading, or a combination thereof. Pore-pressure measurements are
made either electronically with pressure transducers or manually with
null-pressure indicators.
Consolidation-test equipment of various load ranges and types is
available. Consolidation tests applying loads up to 50 tsf on the sample
are possible. The laboratory is equipped with a wide range of electronic
devices, including pressure transducers, load cells, and accelerometers
to expedite data collection.
Civil Engineering / 163
Research with the aid of models can be conducted to study the prob-
lems associated with the design and construction of earth dams, open-
braced cuts, and other similar structures. In addition, model studies on
the behavior of footings or piles are possible for both static and cyclical
loading conditions.
Materials Laboratory The materials laboratory provides for both re-
search and teaching needs. Capabilities are in the experimental deter-
mination of the physico-chemical properties of materials. These include
destructive and nondestructive strength determinations as well as
microstructural and chemical analyses.
Water-Quality Laboratory Capabilities include analyses of both water
and wastewater samples in physical, chemical, and biological regimes.
Laboratory and supporting equipment enable complete studies in the
following areas: water analysis, wastewater analysis, trace-metal and
organic analysis, stream and estuary studies, waste-treatability studies,
unit operations, bioassay techniques, pilot plant studies, tracer studies,
and complete instrument analysis.
Instrument analysis capabilities include atomic absorption, total car-
bon, organic carbon, specific ions, gas chromatography, spectrophoto-
metric, and gravimetric analyses.
Special areas are available for unit operation studies in water and
wastewater treatment. A well-equipped machine shop has been estab-
lished so that special equipment can be designed and built for model-
prototype studies.
Air Pollution Laboratory Equipment is available to sample ambient
air and gaseous and particulate pollutants and to evaluate the physical,
chemical, and biological characteristics of atmospheric pollutants. Con-
tinuous air samples may be established in any area in Metropolitan
Boston and the samples analyzed by ultraviolet-visible, fluorescence,
and atomic spectrophotometry, as well as gas chromatography and
infrared techniques. A portable carbon-monoxide analyzer with pnntout
equipment is available for measurement studies and research work.
Recent equipment additions also make it possible to conduct studies
in noise pollution.

Professional Preparation
Aims Among their many achievements, electrical engineers have
been primarily responsible for the development of the computer, inte-
grated circuits, the pacemaker, satellite communication, space naviga-
tion, microprocessors, television, and the means of providing the energy
needed to run our cities and our industries. At present, electrical engi-
neers are working to help find solutions to the problems of information
transfer and management, industrial productivity, energy conservation
and alternative energy sources, transportation, and health care.
This is just a small sample of the growing wealth of evidence that
indicates that electrical engineering has impact on all facets of our cul-
ture. As with all branches of technology, the societal functions and aims
of electrical engineering are to maintain and improve the quality of life.
Description of Electrical Engineering Despite the diversity of its ap-
plication, electrical engineering may be conveniently divided into two
broad, general areas of information sciences and energy resources. The
area of information sciences is concerned primarily with systems whose
function is computation, communication, or control. Included in this area
166 / College of Engineering
are the circuits and devices that comprise the systems and the appli-
cation of the systems and engineering techniques to other disciplines.
Energy resources deal with problems related to the sources, generation,
and distribution of large quantities of electrical energy. It should be
noted, however, that no rigid boundary exists between the two areas,
and many of the technical specialties within electrical engineering are
applicable to both areas.
Many electrical engineers are involved with the more traditional activ-
ities of system design and development, such as the information sci-
ences or energy resources areas. Other electrical engineers apply the
knowledge gained in their professional education to such disciplines as
ocean exploration, meteorology, experimental psychology, electronic
music, health-care systems, bioelectronics, and educational devices for
the disadvantaged.
The optimistic outlook for electrical engineering is based on the
breadth of the technical activity described above. We are constantly
reminded that among the pressing problems in our society are improve-
ment of industrial productivity, the energy crisis, data communication
and management, urban transportation, health care, and the plight of
the socially and physically disadvantaged.
No one has yet been able to forecast how these problems will be
solved without the use of technological resources. Readily available
electrical energy, data processing, electronic instrumentation and con-
trol, and communication are among the crucial resources needed.
A View of the Five-Year Program The purpose of the curriculum is to
offer the student an education that has the breadth and depth necessary
for professional practice. Breadth is needed to give the student an
awareness of all that electrical engineering encompasses and to provide
the necessary background for independent study, a major criterion for
professional success. Individual career objectives and initial profes-
sional achievement can result, in part, from learning a subject area in
some depth. To achieve the balance between depth and breadth, the
curriculum is divided into the core program and elective courses.
The core program includes those courses with content applicable to
all specialties in electrical engineering and offers students a basic back-
ground for future learning. Subject areas covered in the core program
include:
1. Circuits and systems
2. Electronic devices and circuits
3. Digital computer design
4. Electromagnetic theory
5. Electromechanical dynamics (energy conversion)
6. Electrical measurements (laboratories)
The elective courses are designed to permit students to develop their
own interests. Many students use this part of the program to learn a
particular subject in depth and to better prepare for graduate studies. A
broad range of courses is offered, including Digital Computer Architec-
ture, Software Engineering, Robotics, Communication Systems, Control
Systems, Advanced Electronics, Solid-state Devices, Power Systems,
Wave Propagation and Distributed Circuits, Network Theory, and Math-
ematical Techniques.
In addition, students who wish to conduct individual projects or learn
about a subject area not offered in an elective course may enroll in the
Electrical and Computer Engineering / 167
senior project course and work with an interested faculty adviser on a
one-to-one basis.
Electrical engineering graduates of Northeastern who have attended
graduate schools have done well. Those who have entered industry find
they compare favorably with graduates of other institutions and many
have risen to positions of leadership in their professions.
B.S.-M.S. Program
Honor students may elect the five-year B.S.-M.S. program. By taking
some course overloads and forgoing one senior co-op term, a student
may complete requirements for both the B.S.E.E. and M.S.E.E. degrees
in five years.
Option in Power Systems
Engineering
The Power Systems Engineering Program in Electrical Engineering is a
special option for those who wish to specialize in energy resources. This
program is conducted in cooperation with the electric power companies
in New England and other eastern states. The Master's degree can be
obtained in six years of cooperative education or through the five-year
B.S.-M.S. program described above. For further information about this
program, students are advised to contact Prof. Sarma Mulukutla, Elec-
trical Engineering, 306 Dana.
Option in Computer Engineering
The option in Computer Engineering is provided for those who wish to
specialize in the design of digital computers and their integration within
larger systems for communications, resource management, and auto-
matic control.
In the design of a digital processing system, hardware and software
must be considered as an integrated entity — software cannot be sepa-
rated from hardware considerations. Thus, the computer engineer must
be both a capable programmer and a capable hardware designer. The
collective demands of computer engineering plus traditional electrical
engineering encompass more knowledge than can be included in a
single, highly structured degree program. The solution at Northeastern,
as at many other schools, was to adopt a new undergraduate option
within Electrical Engineering. The objective of this option is to provide
the student with a basic and comprehensive knowledge of the principles
that underlie the organization, design, and applications of digital pro-
cessing systems. It encompasses both the hardware and software de-
sign aspects of the system and offers students the opportunity to acquire
an understanding of the important relationships and "trade-offs" be-
tween the hardware and software components of a digital system. This
understanding is necessary in order to create computer systems that
satisfy the users' needs at prices they can afford.
The Computer Engineering option follows curriculum recommenda-
tions in the report "An Undergraduate Computer Engineering Option for
Electrical Engineering" by the Cosine Committee of the Commission on
Education, National Academy of Engineering, Washington, D.C. 20418
(January 1970). An important feature of this option is that it leads to a
Bachelor of Science degree with specification— a degree in Electrical
Engineering accredited nationally by the Engineering Accreditation
Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology
(ABET).
168 / College of Engineering
Part-Time Program
The Electrical Engineering Program is available on a part-time basis.
The classes are scheduled during the evening hours, usually two eve-
nings per week. The curriculum can be completed in a minimum of six
years.
Laboratories
The seven laboratory courses included in the program are an integral
part of the educational process. Their purpose is both to supplement
concepts developed in core courses and to introduce the student to
design and experimental techniques.
To provide this facet of the educational experience, the Department
has laboratory equipment in excess of $1.5 million. In addition to stan-
dard professional laboratory equipment, several specialized laboratory
facilities are maintained. These include several small digital computers
(such as a PDP-11 or LSI-11), personal computers, a number of CRT
terminals, and a variety of microprocessors. Programming courses and
research programs also use the large computer system of the College
of Engineering and the University.
The freshman-year program of studies in the College of Engineering
is the same for all majors in the College. See page 157.

Professional Preparation
Aims Industrial engineers are problem solvers. They formulate strate-
gies and make decisions that involve the utilization of individuals, mate-
nals, equipment, and energy to achieve the goals of an organization.
Management needs factual information that defines the consequences
of alternative decisions. The industrial engineer collects this information
and evaluates alternatives to make the decision that best achieves a
particular organizational goal. The scope of decisions may involve the
entire organization or some portion of it associated with a given product
or service.
Traditionally, industrial engineers have been most widely employed in
manufacturing organizations, but increasingly they are finding employ-
ment in service industries, such as airlines, banks, hospitals, and local
and federal government agencies. Courses in the curriculum reflect the
industrial engineer's interest in society's changing attitudes about com-
puters, population growth, pollution, and the quality of life.
Another responsibility of the Department of Industrial Engineering and
Information Systems is to provide a comprehensive view of engineering.
Students are confronted with several problems similar to those they may
encounter in professional careers. Methods of problem solving and
graphic representation of solutions are emphasized so that students
have the opportunity to learn some of the ways engineers communicate
through drawings and sketches. The role of an engineer as a creative
designer is described by relatively large case studies that show the
step-by-step solution to specially chosen problems cutting across sev-
eral engineering disciplines.
Description of Industrial Engineering In performing problem analy
ses, the industrial engineer is concerned with complex, integrated man-
machine systems. To treat the machine elements of the system, the
172 /College of Engineering
industrial engineer requires knowledge of engineering fundamentals.
Also necessary is some background in the behavioral sciences to un-
derstand how the human elements of the system operate and how they
relate to each other and the machines.
A View of the Five- Year Program The program is designed to include
extensive course work in mathematics, physics, science, and the engi-
neering sciences. The first two years provide the student with the oppor-
tunity to build a strong foundation for use in later course offerings.
The required program affords students an opportunity to develop a
strong base in probability, statistics, operations research, and computer
systems. Courses in work design, personnel and organizational behav-
ior, and engineering economy provide an exposure to the problems
frequently encountered in industrial engineering. Elective offerings in the
last few years provide an opportunity for students to familiarize them-
selves with other areas of industrial engineering, such as plant layout,
quality control, simulation, management information systems, production
and inventory control, and material-handling systems design.
The Computer The computer is of particular importance to the indus-
trial engineer since many complicated problems, such as assembly-line
balancing, mathematical modeling, and industrial simulations, require a
computer solution.
B.S.-M.S. Program
An accelerated program is available for honor students, allowing com-
pletion of the requirements for both B.S. and M.S. degrees in five years
through course overloads and the elimination of the senior co-op term.
Laboratories
Integrated Laboratory The new Industrial Engineering Laboratory is
an integrated lab used for a variety of different courses. Directly associ-
ated with the lab classroom are the computer console room, utilized in a
variety of courses; the copying equipment for use in the plant layout
courses; and the machine-tool lab for use in work design. Students work
as individuals or in groups, depending upon the scope and complexity
of the project. Extensive laboratory project work is also conducted on
real problems in outside industrial plants and service organizations. Stu-
dents can view actual operations on occasional plant visits.
Human Factors Laboratory Equipped primarily for experimentation in
perception, the facility is used for demonstration and student projects.
Computer Laboratory Numerous microcomputers and minicompu-
ters provide an opportunity for students to gain experience in operating
computers and utilizing them for application to actual engineering prob-
lems. The department has a large collection of industrial engineering
software.
l\/licroprocessor and Manufacturing Systems Laboratory A labora-
tory with microprocessors is available for hands-on programming expe-
rience in the use of microprocessors in engineering applications.
Students may also develop small experimental situations in the use of
microprocessors and minicomputers in a manufacturing environment.
Robotics experience and study are offered.

Professional Preparation
Aims Mechanical Engineering is the branch of science broadly con-
cerned with energy, including its transformation from one form to an-
other, its transmission, and its utilization. Mechanical engineers
conceive, plan, design, and direct the manufacture, distribution, and
operation of a wide variety of devices, machines, and systems — includ-
ing complex man-machine systems — for energy conversion, environ-
mental control, materials processing, transportation, materials handling,
and other purposes.
Mechanical engineers are engaged in all the engineering functions,
including creative design, applied research, development, production,
and management. The field of mechanical engineering is broad, provid-
ing an excellent professional base for career choice and interdisciplinary
activities.
Description of Mechanical Engineering Mechanical engineers are
concerned with the development, design, manufacture, and operation
of a wide variety of devices, machines, and systems used in energy
conversion, environmental control, materials processing, transportation,
prosthetics, manufacturing, and the field of consumer products.
The rapid technological advances of the past four decades have con-
siderably expanded the mechanical engineer's sphere of inquiry and
influence. These new areas of inquiry have placed the mechanical en-
gineer in contact with such diverse disciplines as nuclear and solid-state
physics, quantum mechanics, plasma physics, chemical kinetics, mag-
neto-hydrodynamics, and rarefied gas dynamics, to name a few
I
Mechanical Engineering / 175
A View of the Five-Year Program In the first three years, students
have the opportunity to learn the basic sciences (mathematics, physics,
and chemistry), the engineering sciences (mechanics, thermodynamics,
fluid mechanics, and material science), and the humanities. As upper-
classmen, they may choose to concentrate their studies in the areas of
thermofluid engineering, mechanics and design, or materials science
and engineering.
Thermofluid engineering is concerned with the properties and char-
acteristics of the working fluid of machines. For example, the ability of
an aircraft to fly depends upon the manner in which air flows over its
lifting surfaces. The energy to run a turbine is extracted from the steam
or combustion gases that pass through it. The engineer must understand
and have a knowledge of the concepts of thermodynamics. The effi-
ciency of a cooling tower depends upon the mechanisms by which fluids
transfer heat to surfaces, so the engineer must have a firm grasp of the
principles of heat transfer.
IVlechanics and design are based upon the fundamental scientific and
mathematical tools utilized in the analysis of mechanical configurations
as they evolve in the design of machines and power-producing devices.
For example, the engineer in the area of mechanics and design may
analyze and design structural components for power plants and deep-
sea oceanographic vessels or develop new methods for evaluating fila-
mentary composite structures. In the modern machine-tool industry,
engineers may be concerned with computer control of machine tools; in
the engine industry, they may analyze stresses in components such as
turbine blades. To prepare for such challenges, upperclass students
have the opportunity to expand their basic knowledge by selecting
courses such as Intermediate Strength of Materials, Vibrations, Systems
Analysis and Control, Engineering Analysis, Design Fundamentals, and
Computer-Aided Design.
Materials science and engineering is concerned with relationships
among the structure, composition, properties, and functions of materials
and with control of the structure and composition to achieve desired
properties. Only recently have engineers come to realize that an under-
standing of the principles of materials science enables them to design
more creatively and with greater freedom than the traditional reference
to handbooks. Examples of areas in which mechanical engineers find
materials properties a part of the basic design function include: manu-
facturing techniques, structures (vehicles, buildings), energy conver-
sion, electronic devices (including computers), packaging, and
prosthetic devices. Advanced courses are available for those mechani-
cal engineers who desire further knowledge in the materials field.
B.S.-M.S. Program
Honor students may elect an accelerated program allowing completion
of the requirements for both B.S. and M.S. degrees in five years through
course overloads and the elimination of the senior co-op term.
Part-Time Program
The Mechanical Engineering Program is available on a part-time basis.
The classes are scheduled during the evening hours, usually two eve-
nings per week. The curriculum can be completed in a minimum of six
years.
1 76 / College of Engineering
Laboratories
Mechanical Engineering Laboratories The laboratories in Mechani-
cal Engineering contain equipment ranging from an electron microscope
and ultrasonic measuring devices to pumps and weirs. Students working
on thermofluids projects may use a turbine, various types of engines,
thermoelectric coolers and generators, and a supersonic wind tunnel, to
name a few. A material science laboratory provides research micro-
scopes, various furnaces, a fluid-to-fluid extrusion press. X-ray diffrac-
tion equipment, electron microscope, and other related equipment. For
the mechanics and design areas, vibrations, experimental stress analy-
sis, and materials testing facilities are provided. A continuous effort is
made by the Department to update and replace laboratory equipment.

Professional Preparation
Aims Biomedical engineering is concerned with the scientific princi-
ples underlying the physical and biological sciences and their applica-
tion to problems of biological and medical significance.
Biomedical engineers are engaged in both theoretical and experimen-
tal studies either as independent investigators or as members of a re-
search or development group. They may characterize and determine
the mechanism of action of natural and synthetic macromolecules, ana-
lyze the properties of blood, and/or investigate the structure and function
of such organ systems as the nervous system, the respiratory system,
the cardiovascular system, or the endocrine system. They may design,
develop, market and apply transducers, cardiac pacemakers and de-
fibrillators, heart-assist systems, artificial kidneys and limbs, or diagnos-
tic and therapeutic X-ray equipment. They are important members of the
hospital health team.
Description of Biomedical Engineering There is no special curricu-
lum in Biomedical Engineering. Several of the engineering disciplines
discussed in this catalog help provide the engineer with a background
in the physical sciences. The purpose of the Biomedical Engineering
Department is to assist the engineering student, from the freshman year
through the senior year, to choose courses in the biological sciences
that will complement those in the physical sciences and humanities
taken in the standard engineering curriculum.
Courses may be chosen without prejudicing the students' obtaining
degrees in their field of engineering specialization. In some cases,
courses in the biological sciences can be taken as additional work dur-
ing the student's career at the University. In other cases, courses in the
biological sciences can be taken as electives in the standard engineer-
ing curriculum. The opportunity to take these courses is dependent on
the student's interests, capabilities, and academic record. It is, of
course, limited by possible schedule conflicts.
Students who wish to take an engineering program that includes bio-
logical sciences must contact the Biomedical Engineering Department
on their arrival as freshmen at the University. This is important since
biology is substituted for graphics in the first year.
Education in a program involving the physical and biological sciences
offers a sound foundation for future work toward a doctorate in medicine
or dentistry, a career in biomedical engineering, or a career as an engi-
neer in a hospital or a government agency such as the Department of
Health and Human Services, depending upon such factors as the state
of the economy and the student's own industry and overall ability. Indus-
trial organizations, particularly those in the health-care industry, may be
seeking individuals with a strong background in engineenng supple-
mented by a biological science education. Other career opportunities
may include public health, the psychological sciences, and the marine
sciences.

Professional Preparation
Aims Engineering and technology influence virtually all areas of en-
deavor and have a profound effect on the lifestyle and institutions of
society. The impact is both cultural and scientific and is manifested by
the awareness that solutions to society's problems are, in part, techno-
logical. The major purpose of the General Engineering program is to
provide flexible, interdisciplinary educational opportunities based on
fundamental engineering concepts. The interdisciplinary nature of the
program allows the student to develop other areas of interest in which
an engineering background is professionally useful.
Description of General Engineering The program is designed for
students whose interests are in engineering-related professions rather
than in the traditional profession of engineering. It is expected that the
work performed by graduates of this program will encompass the entire
spectrum of professional activity, including such typical areas as com-
puters, urban technology, social systems, and health care.
The General Engineenng program is highly elective and gives stu-
dents the opportunity to develop, in conjunction with their adviser, a
program designed to meet their own career objectives. To achieve this
goal, the student is exposed to the fundamental engineering areas
through courses in electric circuits, systems, mechanics, thermodynam-
ics, and materials. These courses are based on principles developed in
early courses in mathematics and physics. In addition, because the
computer is a basic tool in any technological environment, each student
is required to learn the elements of computer programming. Students
completing the adviser-approved program receive an unspecified B.S.
degree from the College of Engineering.
Graduate education and continuing education are increasingly impor-
tant in professional life. By appropriately planning their programs, stu-
dents will be able to satisfy the course requirements necessary for
admission to various graduate and professional schools, including law,
medicine, public health, and social sciences, as well as engineering.
A View of the Five-Year Program Each student in the program is
required to satisfy the following minimum requirements beyond the
freshman year:
8 quarter hours in mathematics
6 quarter hours in physics (including laboratory)
4 quarter hours in circuit theory
4 quarter hours in materials
4 quarter hours in systems
4 quarter hours in thermodynamics
16 quarter hours in social sciences (consisting of at least two se-
quences of two courses each from the areas of sociology, eco-
nomics, political science, and psychology)
I
General Engineering / 179
8 quarter hours in the humanities, consisting of at least two courses
fronn the areas of art, history, language and literature (not includ-
ing grammar), music, philosophy, and drama (not including pub-
lic speaking)
The remaining portion of the program is completely elective but must
be designed to fit the student's career objectives. At least 24 quarter
hours of course work must be taken in the professional departments of
the College of Engineering (Chemical, Civil, Electrical and Computer,
Industrial and Information Systems, and Mechanical Engineering).
Beyond the freshman year, students, in conjunction with a faculty
adviser, plan their programs. Basically, the elective program permits
each student to plan a distinctive and highly individual curriculum.
Although each student is enrolled in a "different program," the goals
of each are the same: the breadth of an engineering-based liberal edu-
cation in combination with the development of professional skills.

Professional Preparation
Aims The School of Engineering Technology (formerly Lincoln Col-
lege) offers programs in engineering technology. Although these pro-
grams are concerned with the same general fields of engineering
specialization, they concentrate on the applications of technology rather
than its development.
Emphasis is placed on the rational processes involved in converting
theories and ideas into practical techniques, procedures, and products.
The engineering technologist works with the professional engineer, sci-
entist, medical doctor, supervisor, and craftsman in converting scientific
knowledge and craftsmanship into products and techniques. Funda-
mentals are related to current practice, providing a supportive "why" for
the practical "how." At the same time, study of the humanities and social
sciences gives students an opportunity to develop an awareness of the
social, economic, and political influences that are part of the real world.
The structure of the Engineering Technology curriculum is based upon
the dual need for relevant technical skills and a foundation for future
growth. Engineering technology education can assist students to:
1 . Understand the scientific principles that govern the current tech-
nology of the particular branch of engineering that they select;
2. Develop competence in the application of technology to problem
solving;
3. Communicate effectively the important implications of technologi-
cal advancements;
4. Acquire the motivation for continued development of technical
skills.
A View of the Five- Year Program The School offers five-year coop-
erative programs in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Technology,
182 / School of Engineering Technology
I
and Computer Technology leading to the degree of Bachelor of Engi-
neering Technology.
Since the first year of study is similar for electrical and mechanical
engineering technology students, a firm choice of major may be delayed
until the spring. At this time, the choice of cooperative work assignments
makes a decision mandatory. Due to the unique program designed for
computer technology, students must decide on this major during the first
quarter of their freshman year. Freshman courses act as a foundation for
upperclass studies. About four-fifths of the upperclass program is de-
voted to scientific and technological study and about one-fifth to human-
istic-social courses, with the aim of balancing technical proficiency with
an appreciation for the nontechnical aspects of society and culture.
Cooperative work assignments during the upperclass years are most
valuable in helping students to integrate the important elements of both
a technical and a liberal education.
Transfer Aerospace Co-op Program The School is offering, for trans-
fer students, a three-year Bachelor of Engineering Technology degree
program with a major in Aerospace Maintenance Engineering Technol-
ogy. This BET program, in cooperation with East Coast Aero Technical
School, is designed for students who have successfully completed an
Aircraft and Power Plant Mechanics or similar technician programs. Dur-
ing their three years of study at Northeastern University these students
will participate in the Cooperative Education system thereby enhancing
the technical classroom education received.
Part-Time Program Offered During Evening Hours The School also
offers six- and seven-year, part-time curncula leading to the degree of
Bachelor of Engineering Technology in the following areas;
Civil Engineenng Technology
Mechanical Engineering Technology
Mechanical-Structural Engineering Technology
Electrical Engineering Technology
Computer Technology
Aerospace Maintenance Engineering Technology (transfer)
Classes are held in the evenings and generally meet two times per
week. For further information on admission to these programs, contact
the School of Engineering Technology (formerly Lincoln College) office
at 120 Snell Engineering Center.
Graduation Requirements
Candidates for the Bachelor of Engineering Technology degree must
complete all of the prescribed work of the curriculum in which they seek
to qualify. A total of approximately 180 quarter hours is required for the
degree. Students who undertake the cooperative education program
must meet the requirements of the Department of Cooperative Education
before they become eligible for their degrees.
Students transferring from another college or university are not eligible
to receive the degree until they have completed at least one academic
year at Northeastern immediately preceding their graduation.
Graduation with Honors
Baccalaureate candidates who have attained superior grades in their
academic work will be graduated cum laude. Upon special vote of th
faculty, a limited number of this group may be graduated magna cum
laude or summa cum laude. Students must have been in attendance at
the University at least six academic quarters and have earned a mini-
1
School of Engineering Technology / 1 83
mum of 72 quarter hours of credit before they may become eligible for
honors at graduation.
Accreditation
Both the Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Technology baccalau-
reate day programs, as well as the evening part-time baccalaureate
programs in Mechanical, Mechanical-Structural, Civil, and Electncal En-
gineering Technology, are accredited by the Technology Accreditation
Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology
(ABET), formerly the Engineer's Council for Professional Development.
Facilities
Electrical The electrical engineering technology laboratories are de-
signed to familiarize the student with the experimental approach to solv-
ing engineering problems. Boasting a wide variety of modern testing
and measuring equipment, the laboratories are an excellent adjunct to
the classroom. Here the students may perform experiments, simulate or
fabricate systems that have been studied in their lecture courses.
From light machinery and power equipment to microwave precision
systems, students plan and pursue their experiments and projects in the
laboratory. LSI-11 Digital Equipment computers are available for direct
programming or use in other laboratory experimentation. VAX terminals
are available in the laboratory for direct access to the University's Digital
Equipment VAX mainframe computer. The College of Engineering has
recently acquired new Data General and VAX 785 mainframe computers
for use in general programming courses. In addition, a number of per-
sonal computers are available for student use.
Mechanical The mechanical engineering technology laboratories con-
tain equipment ranging from an electron microscope and ultrasonic
measuring devices to pumps and weirs. Students working on thermo-
fluids projects may use a turbine and various types of engines. A mate-
rial science laboratory provides research microscopes, various
furnaces, a fluid-to-fluid extrusion press. X-ray diffraction equipment,
electron microscope, and other related equipment. For the mechanics
and design areas, vibrations, experimental stress analysis, and materi-
als testing facilities are provided.
Computer facilities available to the mechanical engineering technol-
ogy student include various microcomputers for in-laboratory analysis.
For general programming purposes, students have direct access to the
new College of Engineering Data General and Digital Equipment 1 1/785
computers as well as the University-wide Digital Equipment VAX com-
puters. A Computervision CAD/CAM system and the IBM Fastdraft com-
puter-aided drafting system have been installed to allow students
hands-on experience in this rapidly emerging technology. A new state-
of-the-art Computervision CDS 4001 CAD/CAM system supporting five
work stations was recently acquired.
Academic Computer Services
Academic Computer Services is the support arm for the many computer-
oriented curricula of the various departments throughout the University.
Equipment has been updated with the installation of a third powerful
Digital Equipment VAX series system with time-sharing capability. Re-
cently acquired computation equipment include a Data General MV/
8000 mainframe computer supporting forty terminals, a Computervision
Designer V computer-aided design system with three work stations and
the IBM Fastdraft computer-aided drafting system supporting two work
stations and an IBM PC. In addition to this equipment the Engineering
184 / School of Engineering Technology
Center has acquired a new Computervision CDS 4001 CAD/CAM sys-
tem, supporting three high resolution color work stations and two mono-
chronne work stations. A new Digital Equipment Corporation VAX 1 1/785
supporting 32 terminals has been installed in the Engineering Center to
further enhance the computing capabilities of the College of Engineering
faculty and students. These systems, along with continued development
of microcomputer clusters, are designed for both student and faculty
use. As the prime computation center necessary to meet curriculum
requirements, Academic Computer Services is used by the students in
the Electrical Engineering Technology, the Mechanical Engineering
Technology, the Aerospace Maintenance Engineering Technology, and
the Computer Technology programs.
Women in Engineering
Technology
Many women enter the technology field each year. Both government and
industry provide positions of responsibility for women technologists. Any
woman with technical or scientific interests should consider engineering
technology as a career.

Professional Preparation
Aims The Computer Technology program is designed to supply a por-
tion of the manpower needs for the complex computer industry. Gradu-
ates of this program may become an integral part of the engineering
support team which develops techniques to implement the engineering
design project. In this capacity, they become a research and production
team which maintains a close cooperation and communication with the
engineers.
The program is designed to provide students with both academic and
technical learning experience using a basic core curriculum which pro-
vides courses in theoretical and technical areas. Students also choose
technical electives in their area of interest. Theory courses are offered at
the higher levels of the technology spectrum. These higher level theory
courses provide the means for students to continue their educational
and professional development beyond the baccalaureate level. Some
students may be prepared to pursue the Master of Technology degree
or, through supplemental course work, the more theoretical Bachelor of
Science degree.
Description of the Major Computer technology deals with the design
and application of equipment and systems related to the hardware and
software aspects of computers. Its major functions include:
1 . Interfacing the computer with process plants or machinery;
2. Programming the computer for engineering, scientific, and busi-
ness applications;
3. Designing, engineering, and testing computers;
4. Interfacing computers to various types of equipment for automatic
drafting, data collection, design, and display.
A View of the Five- Year Major The present-day high-speed comput-
ers have been realized through the application of technology developed
in the electrical and the electronic fields. Because of this interdepend-
ence, the program of study for Computer Technology begins, as in Elec-
trical Engineering Technology, with the basic courses in mathematics
and physics.
An introduction to computer programming and the study of basic
computer organization provide an early contact with the major field of
study. In addition, the freshman year includes literature and engineering
graphics to aid students in developing the skills to express themselves.
In the upperclass years the balance of hardware and software
courses, combined with hands-on laboratory experience, provides the
student with the opportunity to develop skills for interfacing the computer
with various systems or to design computers and the related systems of
programs. Current practice is stressed.
The senior year technical electives are offered to ensure that students
acquire both depth and specialization.

Professional Preparation
Aims The Electrical Engineering Technology progrann is directed to-
ward supplying some of the manpower needs of the industrial complex
and high technology industries. Because of the nature of high technol-
ogy industries, close communication and cooperation is required be-
tween the technologist and the engineer in forming a viable working
team. Students through their cooperative work assignments in industry
bear evidence of this need.
In an effort to implement these objectives, the program is designed to
provide the student with a broad education through the use of a basic
core curriculum. Courses are offered at a high level of theory at the
upper end of the technology spectrum. Technical electives are offered
to accommodate the student's area of interest.
The higher theoretical level provided in the program also prepares
students to continue their education beyond the Bachelor of Technology
degree. These continued studies could be toward a Master of Technol-
ogy degree or, through supplemental course work, could prepare them
for more theoretical engineering science subject areas.
Description of the Major Electrical engineering technology deals with
the design and operation of equipment and systems related to power,
communications, data processing, and electrical control. Its major func-
tions include:
1. The generation, transmission, and distribution of electrical energy
for light and power purposes;
2. The development and production of equipment for telephone, ra-
dio, television, radar, and communication;
3. The design and construction of data-processing systems and an-
alog or digital computers;
4. The application of electrical and electronic devices in the control
of processes and manufacture.
A View of the Five- Year IVIajor Since electrical engineering technol-
ogy derives many of its fundamentals from developments in the pure
sciences, the program of study begins with basic courses in mathemat-
ics and physics. In addition, the freshman year includes literature and
engineering graphics to aid students in developing the skills with which
to express themselves.
In the upperclass years, courses are divided into four related se-
quences: circuits and systems, including feedback control; microwave
devices; energy conversion, emphasizing electromagnetic devices; and
laboratory work associated with all of the aforementioned. Current prac-
tice is stressed.
In the senior year, electives are offered to ensure that students acquire
both depth and specialization.
The freshman-year program of studies in the School of Engineering
Technology (formerly Lincoln College) is similar for Electrical and Me-
chanical Engineering Technology. See page 184.

Professional Preparation
Aims The objectives of the program are to prepare the graduate for
technical support activities as a technologist in the broad field of Me-
chanical Engineering Technology.
The student who has learned the principles of science and mathemat-
ics as applied to his or her field will be able to convert theories into
practical techniques and processes.
The student will be shown how to effectively communicate this tech-
nical information so that he or she may become an integral component
of the engineer-technologist-technician design and operations team.
Description of the IVlajor Mechanical engineering technology deals
with the use of machinery to harness power resources and perform
useful work. In contrast to civil engineering, which deals primarily with
static forces and structures, mechanical engineering technology is more
concerned with the motion and kinetics of devices activated by hy-
draulic, electrical, mechanical, or thermodynamic forces. Major func-
tions of the mechanical engineering technologist include:
Mechanical Engineering Technology / 189
1 . Design and installation of all kinds of machinery, from pocket
watches to the largest steel boring mills;
2. Development and production of engines and transport equipment,
as in automobiles, aircraft, ships, or railway cars;
3. Construction and operation of furnaces and boilers, as well as
heating and air-conditioning equipment, for the control of atmos-
pheric and environmental conditions.
A View of the Five- Year Major Since machinery is the predominant
concern of the mechanical engineering technologist, the program of
study is designed to offer considerable training in the principles under-
lying the design and operation of engines, power transmission devices,
machine tools, and other machinery. This, of course, implies a thorough
study of the physical laws concerning motion and transfer of energy.
Applied mechanics, thermodynamics, and study of materials will occupy
prominent places in the program.
These studies help provide the student with a broad foundation in
those fundamental subjects essential to the understanding of current
practice. In the senior year, students have elective choice and opportu-
nity for specialization.
The freshman-year program of studies in the School of Engineering
Technology (formerly Lincoln College) is similar for Electrical and Me-
chanical Engineering Technology. See page 184.

Professional Preparation
Aims The College of Nursing is committed to preparing professional
nurses capable of practicing in a variety of settings. To accomplish this
aim, students are provided with a broadly based educational experience
which is supportive of both personal and professional growth and pro-
vides a foundation for graduate study in nursing. The College of Nursing
also provides opportunities for individuals from diversified backgrounds
and/or with changing career goals to pursue professional nursing edu-
cation.
Opportunities for Registered Nurses The College of Nursing ac-
cepts Registered Nurses who wish to complete requirements for the
Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing. The length of the program varies
depending upon the individual's previous educational experience and
ability to achieve advance placement through selected testing methods.
A View of the Nursing Program The College of Nursing was estab-
lished at Northeastern University in 1964. In keeping with its commitment
to professional nursing education, the College offers a course of study
which emphasizes nursing theory and nursing research, the humanities,
192 /College of Nursing
and the biological, physical, and social sciences. The study of nursing
begins in the freshman year. Clinical experience in health care settings
is introduced in the second year of the program. Approximately thirty
outstanding hospitals and health-related agencies provide facilities for
clinical laboratories.
The College of Nursing was the first in the nation to operate on a
cooperative education plan. Beginning in the sophomore year, students
alternate periods of academic study with cooperative work experiences.
During periods of employment, students have the opportunity to gain
experience in nursing settings. The salary earned during the cooperative
work placement accrues totally to the student. Placements are arranged
by a nursing coordinator in accordance with agreements made by the
University with health care agencies. Cooperative work experiences are
available not only in the Greater Boston area but also in selected sites
across the country.
Students are admitted in September and January. A summer program
is provided for transfer students.
Graduation Requirements
Degrees An overall minimum scholastic average of C in both nursing
and general studies is required for graduation.
The program is five years in length and leads to the degree of Bach-
elor of Science in Nursing.
Accreditation
The program of the College of Nursing is fully accredited by the National
League for Nursing and approved by the Board of Registration in Nurs-
ing of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Licensure
The program is designed to prepare graduates to qualify to take the
professional examination for practice as a registered nurse.
Transfer Credit
Students may be allowed to transfer credits earned in courses at other
institutions if a grade of C or better has been obtained and if the courses
are comparable to courses required at Northeastern University. It is
unusual for specific nursing courses to be transferable.
Special Requirements
Health Clearance Every student must have a complete physical ex-
amination, including a tuberculin test, prior to registering for first quarter
classes. Similarly, proof of immunization against German measles is
required unless a satisfactory antibody titre against German measles is
demonstrated.
All students must carry malpractice insurance. Arrangements for this
insurance are made by the University. Students in the College of Nursing
are required to wear the school uniform in clinical laboratory areas dur-
ing academic quarters. A modification of the uniform is worn during
cooperative work periods.

facility offers proximity to all the academic and extracurricular activities
of the University.
The building and the Amelia Peabody Health Professions Center ad-
dition, with its well-equipped laboratories and classrooms for both un-
dergraduate and graduate programs, are designed to anticipate the
physical needs of a growing and progressive College. In addition to
faculty and administrative offices, a Drug Information and Resource
Center, a data-processing area, and the graduate school, there are
laboratories for radioisotopes, clinical chemistry, medicinal chemistry,
drug analysis, prescription pharmacy, hematology, immunology, phar-
macology, respiratory therapy, medical record science, and clinical mi-
crobiology. Animal rooms and audiovisual capabilities for all programs
196 / College of Pharmacy and Allied Health Professions
are also featured in this five-story structure. Research facilities are
available for upperclass students who participate in original research
projects.
Transfers with Advanced
Standing
The College of Pharmacy and Allied Health Professions may accept
qualified transfer students who have successfully completed one or
more years of preprofessional course work in an accredited college or

Health-Care Curriculum
Open Option
Students interested in pursuing a career in the health-care professions
who are undecided as to which profession is right for them should ex-
plore the Open Option offered by Northeastern's College of Pharmacy
and Allied Health Professions.
Aims The Open Option program offers freshmen a core of courses
designed to provide the basic scientific background required for each
of the professional programs in the College of Pharmacy and Allied
Health Professions. Students are also introduced to the basic principles
of health-care delivery, health-care agencies and services, and atti-
tudes, behavioral aspects, and policies that may influence health-care
systems.
The Open Option is especially valuable to students who need assis-
tance in determining an area of interest within the health-care field. By
examining various professions, and thus gaining an overview of the
discipline, students can refine their health-care career goals. They may
also familiarize themselves with what is expected of them in vahous
health-care professions. Subsequent selection of a professional pro-
gram may proceed more smoothly, an advantage that may help students
gain more confidence and certainty in pursuing a degree. Even though
in the Open Option students consider various health professions, they
still complete some prerequisite courses required of all the professional
programs and so do not lose valuable time prior to selecting a major.
A View of the Plan In the Open Option Plan, students may complete
the core courses in the first-year curriculum without selecting a profes-
sion in which to major and without loss of valuable time. Upon satisfac-
tory completion of the first year of courses, students select a professional
Dental Hygiene/ 197
area in which to major. Professions in the college include pharmacy,
health record administration, medical laboratory science, respiratory
therapy, and toxicology.
The courses offered in the first-year Open Option include:
— Functions and Basic Calculus
— General Chemistry I and II
— General Biology
— Animal Biology
— Freshman Writing
— Introduction to Literature
— Professional Dynamics in the Health-Care Delivery System
Satisfactory completion of the eight courses in the Open Option core
curriculum, as well as other courses completed during the freshman
year, is necessary for admission to one of the professional programs of
the college.
The Open Option Plan does not apply to the Dental Hygiene program.

Professional Preparation
Aims Medical technology involves the application of principles of nat-
ural, physical, and biological sciences to the performance of laboratory
determinations used in the diagnosis and treatment of disease and the
maintenance of health. It is projected that the demand for properly edu-
cated and certified medical technologists and medical laboratory tech-
nicians will increase as a result of greater emphasis on the quantity,
quality, and efficiency of health-care delivery. With educational oppor-
tunities available in hematology, immunohematology, clinical chemistry,
and clinical microbiology, students have the opportunity to prepare
themselves for positions not only in a hospital laboratory but also in
research, industrial, and governmental institutions. Related co-op work
experience in hospitals, clinics, research, and industry helps prepare
the graduates for a variety of positions in the working world. Since 1976,
opportunities for six months of co-op work experiences in foreign coun-
tries have been available to interested students. These have been an
enriching experience for the participants.
For qualified graduates, additional opportunities may be found in lab-
oratory administration, education, and graduate programs.
A View of the Five- Year Major Students enter the College in the Med-
ical Laboratory Science program (medical technology). The College of-
fers a five-year modified cooperative course of study leading to the
degree of Bachelor of Science. Upon satisfactory completion of the
baccalaureate degree, the student should be eligible to take national
certification examinations in medical technology and clinical laboratory
science. Some states may require additional licensure examinations.
During the junior and senior years, qualified students are assigned to
the hospital components of the medical technology program. To qualify
for entrance into the hospital component of the program, students must
have an acceptable grade point average; have successfully completed
all University course requirements, including those in biology, chemistry,
mathematics, and medical laboratory science; and have met other cri-
teria established by the Clinical Studies Admission Committee. The
professional courses in hematology, pathogenic microbiology, serology,
mycology, parasitology, clinical chemistry, instrumentation, and blood
banking are included in both the University and the hospital components
of the program.
Students in the five-year major who decide not to complete their
course of study may transfer into the three-year Associate degree pro-
gram. In addition, through the Graduate School of Pharmacy and Allied
Health Professions, programs leading to the Master of Science and Doc-
tor of Philosophy degrees are offered.

Professional Preparation
Aims The need for well-qualified pharmacists is likely to continue in
direct response to the greater emphasis on health care and, in particular,
to the newer and more diversified utilization of those now in practice in
this country. The majority of pharmacists are associated with community
practice, and some of these are self-employed. Hospital pharmacy and
institutional practice have attracted a large number of practitioners and
represent the fastest-growing areas of the profession. The increased use
of the pharmacist as a drug consultant to the medical and nursing staffs
of these institutions has broadened the scope of professional opportu-
nity and given practitioners even greater involvement as part of the
health team.
Pharmacy also offers careers in research, manufacturing, govern-
ment, law enforcement, and education. A considerable number of our
graduates have entered leading graduate and professional schools. An-
other significant trend is found in the increasing number of women en-
tering the profession. Approximately 60 percent of the entering class is
now composed of women.
A View of the Five- Year Major The College offers a five-year curricu-
lum that leads to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy. The
curriculum offers instruction in each of three natural divisions; (1) arts
and sciences courses in general education (the humanities and social
206 / College of Pharmacy and Allied Health Professions
sciences); (2) mathennatics and the basic physical and biological sci-
ences; and (3) courses in the areas of professional instruction — medici-
nal chemistry, pharmacology, pharmaceutics, pharmacy administration,
pharmacy practice, and clinical pharmacy.
The curriculum offers a well-balanced blend of academic classroom
and cooperative education work experiences. Students completing the
five-year baccalaureate pharmacy degree at Northeastern complete up
to 3,000 hours of combined co-op and clinical clerkship experiences.
We believe these experiences enable our students to easily make the
transition into pharmacy practice upon graduation. The classroom ex-
perience is well-structured and allows for the integration of the students'
cooperative learning experiences. As is the case with other pharmacy
programs across the country, the curriculum is five years in length, but
with a much greater practical experience base. The pharmacy program
maintains close affiliations with many of the leading hospitals in the
surrounding Boston area.
In addition, through the Graduate School of Pharmacy and Allied
Health Professions, programs leading to the Master of Science and Mas-
ter of Health Professions degrees are offered as well as the Doctor of
Philosophy degree in Biomedical Science. The Doctor of Pharmacy
(Pharm.D.) degree is also available for a limited number of qualified
baccalaureate graduates.
Graduation Requirements
Degree Candidates for the Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy degree
must complete all prescribed work of the curriculum and meet the re-
quirements of the Department of Cooperative Education before they
become eligible for their degrees.
No student transferring from another college or university is eligible to
receive a degree until the last three years of academic work immediately
preceding graduation have been completed at Northeastern. Excep-
tions to this requirement may be made for students transferhng from
another college of pharmacy.
Graduation with Honors
Candidates who have attained superior grades in their academic work
will be graduated cum laude. Upon special vote of the faculty, a limited
number of this group may be graduated magna cum laude or summa
cum laude. Students must have been in attendance at the University for
at least six quarters before they become eligible for honors at gradua-
tion.
Accreditation
The undergraduate pharmacy program offered by the College of Phar-
macy and Allied Health Professions subscribes to the standards estab-
lished by the American Council on Pharmaceutical Education and the
American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy, of which it is a member.
Licensure — Pliarmacy
Pharmacists must meet certain requirements to obtain a license from the
state in which they wish to practice. These requirements ordinarily in-
clude graduating from an accredited college of pharmacy, passing an
examination given by a State Board of Pharmacy, and completing an
"internship," or apprenticeship.
Pharmacy/ 207
The internship is a period of supervised practical experience in a
preceptor pharnnacy. This is generally satisfied during the cooperative
work periods connmencing at the end of the student's second academic
year. The salary earned during these periods of full-time employment
may be used to help defray educational expenses. Students may apply
up to 400 hours of the required academic clinical clerkship experience
to their internship requirements. In addition, a college-directed extern-
ship adds to the total practice-oriented portion of the curriculum.

Respiratory Therapy
Thomas A. Barnes, Ed.D., Associate Professor and Director
Associate Professors Instructor
Patrick F. Plunkett, Ed.D. Margaret A. Stewart, B.S.
Mary E. Watson, Ed.D.
Professional Preparation
Aims Respiratory therapy is an allied-health specialty, instrumental in
the diagnosis, treatment, management, and preventive care of patients
with cardiopulmonary problems. These patients may be found in new-
born nurseries, surgical and medical wards, emergency rooms, out-
patient departments, and intensive care units of hospitals. They may be
suffering from a variety of acute and chronic conditions that are either
life threatening or disabling.
Patients suffering a multiplicity of disorders may require supportive
mechanical ventilation. With the assistance of sophisticated ventilatory
and monitoring equipment designed specifically for artificial ventilation,
respiratory therapists become an essential part of the critical-care team.
Through proper respiratory care and management, many patients who
would not have survived are now being returned to an active life. In
essence, the respiratory therapist is a life-support specialist.
In the hospital, "Code Blue, Code 99, Dr. Heart, Dr. Pacemaker" are
all calls that may signify a life-and-death situation of cardiac and/or
pulmonary arrest. The calls alert respiratory therapists to respond as
members of an emergency cardiopulmonary arrest team, working along-
side physicians and nurses. Respiratory therapists become responsible
for life support of the patient through airway management, artificial ven-
tilation, external cardiac massage, and many other sophisticated emer-
gency support measures.
While intensive respiratory care is essential, routine patient care is
equally important. Working under physician's orders, respiratory thera-
pists carry out specific therapeutic measures to assist respiratory-dis-
tressed patients. Respiratory therapists must be experts in providing
and recommending specialized and selective therapeutic respiratory
care. They must be competent in such areas as medical gas administra-
tion, including oxygen; humidification, aerosols, and intermittent positive
pressure breathing (IPPB); chest physiotherapy, cardiopulmonary re-
suscitation, mechanical ventilation, airway management, and pulmonary
function studies; blood gas analysis; and physiologic monitoring. Be-
cause respiratory therapy procedures may alter the patient's physiologic
status, astute patient care and observation by educated respiratory ther-
apists are essential.
Respiratory therapists are involved in the treatment of cardiac and
pulmonary ailments such as cardiac failure, asthma, pulmonary edema,
emphysema, cerebral thrombosis, drowning, hemorrhage, and shock.
Medications are delivered as aerosols through mechanical devices.
These medications are then administered through the airways so that
they may act on local areas within the lungs, as well as be diffused into
the body's circulatory system.
Respiratory therapists make use of a variety of testing techniques to
assist in medical research and diagnosis of disorders. One example is
the use of radioactive gases or aerosols which are safely administered
to the patient through the respiratory system. Various portions of the lung
210 / College of Pharmacy and Allied Health Professions
may be screened and evaluated for obstructions, restrictions, and other
abnormalities. The most common diagnostic examinations are the mea-
surement of lung volumes and capacities, and flow patterns and pres-
sures.
Today, the field of respiratory technology is expanding rapidly to keep
pace with the demand for new techniques to cope with environmentally
related problems such as smoking and air pollution. New techniques
also have been developed for use in the treatment of respiratory failure
following open heart and other types of major surgery.
A View of the Major Students enter the College as majors in the Res-
piratory Therapy program. Mathematics, chemistry, and the physical,
biological, medical, and health sciences offer the bases for professional
instruction in Respiratory Therapy. English, psychology, and elective
courses in the humanities and social sciences offer a liberal arts back-
ground. Clinical study at the affiliated hospitals provides the opportunity
for direct patient care and the immediate application of highly special-
ized techniques.
Degree The curriculum leads to the Bachelor of Science degree in
Respiratory Therapy and includes academic quarters at the University,
a structured clinical program, and assigned co-op quarters. Successful
completion of the first three years of the program makes students eligible
for the first part of the examinations administered by the National Board
for Respiratory Care.
Two accelerated programs in Respiratory Therapy and Cardiovascu-
lar Perfusion Technology are available for professionals with a baccalau-
reate or master's degree who are interested in a new career. Students
who meet the admissions requirements will have the science back-
ground needed to master professional courses in the curriculum. The
curriculum allows students to integrate didactic, laboratory, and clinical
practice courses over a twelve- to fifteen-month period of time. Gradu-
ates of the Certificate Programs are eligible to take the National Board
Examination for Registered Respiratory Therapists or Certified Cardio-
vascular Perfusionists.
Accreditation
Both the degree and accelerated programs are accredited by the Com-
mittee on Allied Health Education and Accreditation sponsored by the
American Medical Association.

Toxicology
David R. Brown, Sc.D., Associate Professor and Director
Associate Professor
Robert A. Schatz, Ph.D.
Professional Preparation
Aims Toxicology can be defined as the branch of science dealing with
poisons, but toxicology is not restricted to this narrow definition. Toxicol-
ogists do much more than simply work with poisons. In its broadest
sense, toxicology involves all aspects of adverse effects of chemicals
on biologic systems. This includes their mechanisms of harmful effects
and the conditions under which these harmful effects occur as well as
socioeconomic considerations and legal ramifications.
The activities and contributions of toxicologists are many and varied.
The profession's subdivisions of materials, radiation, and veterinary tox-
icology illustrate the diversity of investigations in which toxicologists may
participate. The toxicologist working in the biomedical area is concerned
with intoxications by drugs and other chemicals as well as the demon-
stration of drug safety or danger prior to release on the market.
Clinical toxicologists may be involved with:
1 . antidotal treatment of poisoning
2. drug abuse, addiction, and detoxification
3. drug monitoring and drug interactions
4. teratogenesis (drug-induced birth defects) and other toxicity-
screening procedures
Industrial or environmental toxicologists are concerned with the rec-
ognition, identification, and quantitation of relative hazard from occupa-
tional or public exposure to toxicants. This concern is closely related to
private and government responsibilities to ensure the safety of workers
and the general public in contact with industrial and commercial prod-
ucts.
Industrial or environmental toxicologists may be involved with;
1. chemical carcinogens
2. pesticides or other "economic poisons"
3. air, soil, and water pollution
4. food additives
Forensic toxicology is a hybrid of analytical chemistry and fundamen-
tal toxicological principles, and is concerned with the medicolegal as-
pects of the harmful effects of chemicals.
Forensic toxicologists may be concerned with:
1 . the cause of death in postmortem investigations
2. isolation and detection of toxicants in biologic material
3. drug-abuse monitoring programs
4. medicolegal aspects of poisoning
The faculty of Northeastern University's College of Pharmacy and Al-
lied Health Professions feels that increased concern over the safety of
drugs, chemicals, and cosmetics in the human population and in the,
environment, as well as new legislation regarding toxic substances, ere-'
ates a high demand for toxicologists at the Bachelor of Science level.
Toxicology / 213
One of the College's principal goals is to help train qualified profession-
als who will stnve to meet the health-care needs of society. The concept
of an undergraduate degree in toxicology is brought about by the de-
mands of an increasingly complex chemical environment. Currently, few
institutions offer B.S. degrees in toxicology, although more schools are
planning such programs. Yet there is an estimated need for 5,000-
10,000 people with bachelor's degrees to act as technical support staff
for Ph.D. -level toxicologists.
Northeastern University has created an innovative program in which
its diverse academic resources offer training to this new breed of toxi-
cologist. The core curhculum is enhanced by contributions from the
University's Institute of Chemical Analysis, Applications, and Forensic
Sciences, the Northeastern University Marine Science Institute in Na-
hant, and the Environmental Engineering faculty.
Recent manpower studies sponsored by private and federal agencies
predict a great demand for toxicologists. Although a need for toxicolo-
gists existed prior to 1970, the introduction of numerous federal and
local laws aimed at protecting the environment, safeguarding employ-
ees in their workplace, and protecting consumers against hazardous
household products has created a critical shortage of toxicologists. Em-
ployment opportunities are being created in industry (chemical, cos-
metic, and pharmaceutical firms) and government (for example,
Environmental Protection Agency, Food and Drug Administration, Na-
tional Institute of Occupational Safety and Health) as well as in police
departments and various clinical settings. Students may also consider
entering graduate programs in toxicology.
A View of the Five- Year Major The Toxicology program leads to the
Bachelor of Science degree in five years under the cooperative plan.
The curriculum is a combination of liberal arts, science, and professional
courses that offer students the opportunity to prepare themselves to
practice toxicology in a variety of settings. Required and elective profes-
sional courses may be selected from Medical Laboratory Science,
Chemistry, Biology, Sociology, Criminal Justice, Computer Program-
ming, Mathematics, and Earth Sciences.
Toxicology students begin their cooperative experience in the sopho-
more year.
Degree The degree granted will be the Bachelor of Science in Toxicol-
ogy.

is substantiated by a diagnostic examination, students can elect to take
C MTH 1000 or C MTH 1010 to prepare themselves for C MTH 1106 Fundamen-
tals of Mathematics as upperclassmen.
** Although the College of Pharmacy and Allied Health Professions does allow
C ENG 1013 to appear on the permanent record, it will only allow C ENG 1014 for
credit. Students completing the C ENG 1013-C ENG 1014 sequence will have to
make up the four-credit elective that was displaced by C ENG 1013.
iAIthough the Colleges of Engineering and Computer Science do not allow
CMTH 1000 or CMTH 1010 to be taken for academic credit, they do offer a
special course sequence in college calculus with algebra and trigonometry
(C MTH 1120 and C MTH 1121) for engineering freshmen judged to have defi-
ciencies in mathematics. The courses involve students in extra hours of work in
algebra and trigonometry, but cover the same material as do the regular freshman
calculus sequences in the Colleges of Engineering and Computer Science.

University College
Alternative Freshman-Year
Program
Program Goals
Students in the Alternative Freshman-Year Program are considered reg-
ular students and are degree candidates with an undeclared major. The
Alternative Freshman-Year Program is specifically designed to
help students strengthen their basic academic skills in writing as well as
mathematics. While helping them gain confidence in their ability to do
college-level work, the program also offers them an opportunity to con-
sider several different areas of study before committing themselves to a
specific major. Through the combination of a carefully prescribed curric-
ulum and the attention of professional counselors, each student is
helped to establish a program suited to his or her individual needs.
These same counselors are normally available on a continuing basis
throughout the student's entire freshman year.
Developed in collaboration with University College, a division of North-
eastern University serving students who seek a flexible college program,
the Alternative Freshman-Year Program has a proven record of success
in assisting students to develop their full potential.
Program Structure
Students in the Alternative Freshman-Year Program begin with 10-15
quarter hours of credit in their first academic quarter. In their second
and third quarters, students accelerate their schedules of course work
to take, respectively, 1 4-1 6 and 1 6-1 7 quarter hours of credit. Students
in the health sciences track complete the Alternative Freshman-Year
Program with a fourth quarter of 12 quarter hours of credit.
After completing the prescribed Alternative Freshman-Year Program,
and achieving both a cumulative quality-point average of 1 .400 or better
and specific program requirements as noted, students may generally
continue their degree programs within University College, or transfer,
with sophomore status, to the College of Business Administration, the
College of Cnminal Justice, the College of Pharmacy and Allied Health
Professions, selected programs of the Boston-Bouve College of Human
Development Professions or the College of Arts and Sciences. In addi-
tion to the cumulative quality-point average of 1.400 or better, the Col-
lege of Business Administration requires a 1.800 average in five key
courses, namely, MTH 4113, ENG 4009, ENG 4010, ECN 4601 , and MGT
4105. Additional program requirements for students desiring to be ad-
mitted to sophomore status in the College of Pharmacy and Allied Health
Professions are listed in the Student Handbook for Basic Colleges.
Faculty and Resources
The University has carefully selected for the Alternative Freshman-Year
Program faculty members who are aware of individual student goals as
well as the needs of students working to adjust to a college program.
Faculty and students meet in small classes, usually of not more than
twenty-five students.
218 / University College Alternative Freshman-Year Program
As members of the program, students are considered regular North-
eastern University day students even though they have unique sched-
ules and a distinctively tailored curriculum. Therefore, they generally
have access to all counseling services, physical education facilities,
dormitory arrangements, and extracurricular programs at the Univer-
sity's main campus in Boston.
Alternative Freshman-Year students are encouraged to make exten-
sive use of the up-to-date programmed learning resources available for
self-instruction through Northeastern's Learning Resources Center on
the Boston campus. For additional assistance. Alternative Freshmen are
also frequently referred to the Academic Assistance Center and/or the
Math/Writing Center on the Boston campus. A third and very important
resource, the Counseling and Testing Center, is also available to stu-
dents on both the Boston and Burlington campuses for personal and
academic counseling, as well as for vocational testing and counseling.

222
Radiologic (X-ray) Technology Program
Professional Preparation
Aims The radiologic technologist is an important member of any health
care team. Combining a technical background with extensive training
and skills, the radiologic technologist is trained to use X-rays to produce
a clear picture or radiograph of a patient's tissue, bone, or organ struc-
ture for evaluation and interpretation by a physician. Northeastern Uni-
versity's Radiologic (X-ray) Technology Program is designed to offer
students the opportunity to prepare for entry-level employment oppor-
tunities as radiologic technologists.
A View of the Program The Radiologic (X-ray) Technology Program
at Northeastern offers a combination of academic preparation and clini-
cal experience. Enrolling a new class of students in September of each
year, the program consists of lecture and laboratory sessions held at
Northeastern and periods of clinical training at selected radiology de-
partments in Massachusetts hospitals. The program requires twenty-
nine months of continuous study. A two-week orientation period is held
prior to the beginning of classes each September.
Degree Upon satisfactory completion of the program, students are
eligible for an Associate in Science degree and to sit for the National
Registry Examination for certification as radiologic technologists.
Certified graduates may, if they wish, seek career opportunities in the
diagnostic and therapeutic environments of clinics and hospitals. How-
ever, they may also explore opportunities for employment in production,
quality control, and facilities inspection at industrial firms. Certified grad-
uates may also decide to consider a program in radiation therapy,
nuclear medicine, or ultrasound technology, or may choose to continue
their education by applying for acceptance to a bachelor's degree pro-
gram in health science or health management.

Dental Assistant Program
Professional Preparation
Aims New knowledge, techniques, equipment and materials in the
health sciences require an ever-increasing number of trained techni-
cians and assistants to support the professional health practitioner. This
Dental Assistant Program / 223
is especially true in the field of dentistry, as many dentists find tfiey can
increase their effectiveness by employing a certified dental assistant to
work with them.
Under the supervision of the dentist, dental assistants help provide
direct patient care. Such work offers a number of rewards. The dental
assistant has an opportunity to participate in a variety of interesting
activities in a stimulating work environment and is often responsible for
diverse tasks, including development of the interpersonal skills required
in relating to patients and in caring for their special needs during office
visits.
Employment opportunities for dental assistants are highly varied. Be-
cause dentistry is a multiservice profession, the dental assistant may
decide to work in general dentistry or in a specialty such as oral surgery,
a field requiring the assistant to work with a surgeon in a manner similar
to that of a nurse in a hospital. Other individuals may prefer to work with
an orthodontist, whose diagnostic treatment and laboratory procedures
are directed toward the prevention and correction of irregularly aligned
teeth and related facial structures. Further career opportunities may be
available in the fields of pedodontics, i.e., dentistry for children; endo-
dontics, which involves treating the inner structure of teeth; and perio-
dontics, which is concerned with the tissues surrounding and supporting
the teeth. General dentistry and dental specialties may be available in
private and group practices, public health and hospital dentistry, dental
school clinics. Veterans Administration and armed forces hospitals, and
federal, state, and community clinics. Other opportunities for employ-
ment include dental supply companies, insurance companies, and, for
individuals with experience and further education, dental assistant edu-
cation programs.
A View of the Program Northeastern University offers the Dental As-
sistant Program in collaboration with Tufts University School of Dental
Medicine and other local clinical facilities. The program consists of thirty-
seven weeks of full-time day instruction including lectures and laboratory
sessions offered through University College, one of the ten colleges
which together comprise Northeastern University. The clinical segment
of the program is based at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine
and at other teaching clinical facilities in the Boston area.
Credit The Dental Assistant Program includes the following noncredit
professional courses: Dental Anatomy, Biology, Clinical Assisting, Ra-
diology Theory and Practicum, Nutrition, Dental Specialties, Medical
Emergency, Dental Laboratory, Microbiology, Histopathology, Pharma-
cology, Prevention and Plaque Control, and Practice Management. Ad-
ditional courses, which do carry college credit, are required in English
and Clinical Behavior. An elective course in Word Processing also car-
ries college credit.
Students who successfully complete the Dental Assistant Program
and pass the certification examination may petition to receive up to
twenty-four elective credits to be applied toward the Bachelor of Science
degree program in Health Science offered by University College. Stu-
dents who successfully complete the program and pass the certification
examination may also petition to receive up to thirty-three credits toward
a Bachelor of Science in Education degree in the School and Community
Health Education Program offered by the Boston-Bouve College of Hu-
man Development Professions at Northeastern.
224 / Other Schools and Colleges
Accreditation
The Dental Assistant Program is accredited by the Commission on Den-
tal Accreditation of the American Dental Association. The program is
designed to offer students the opportunity to prepare for the certification
examination conducted by the Dental Assisting National Board, Inc.
Massachusetts now requires that dental assistants be certified in order
to perform certain intra-oral procedures.

wave-based Instructional Television Fixed Service (ITFS) system,
whereby services are delivered directly to company sites within a forty-
mile radius of the Boston campus. Live classroom instruction is telecast
in color to remote sites, where it is viewed in reception rooms equipped
with TV monitors and a talkback system. A courier service is also pro-
vided. Network Northeastern offers courses in graduate engineering,
undergraduate engineering technology, and selected arts and sciences
topics.
229
Academic Research
Research, whether performed in the laboratory, library, or in the field, is
vital to a college education. It stimulates all participants and ensures a
thnving academic atmosphere. Through research, faculty members as
well as students stay abreast of the most recent developments in their
particular fields. Faculty who disseminate this knowledge, through pub-
lishing, speaking, and teaching, help assure a university education of
the first order.
At Northeastern, research and scholarly endeavors are taken very
seriously and are actively encouraged. Each year, the faculty receive
funding for an ever-increasing number of research projects. Sponsor-
ship comes from a variety of sources. Federal agencies, private industry
and foundations, and the University itself all contribute to Northeastern's
growing research emphasis.
While much of this research is carried out by the faculty members,
their graduate students, and post-doctoral research associates, ample
opportunities also exist for undergraduate students. Research partici-
pation can be included as part of regular academic programs, as spe-
cially designed independent studies, or through cooperative work
assignments. Research activities are encouraged, and are limited only
by the student's own motivation and curiosity.
Northeastern University has numerous distinguished faculty members,
many of whom have received prestigious awards, including Sloan Schol-
arships, Guggenheim Fellowships, and National Institutes of Health Re-
search Career Awards. Faculty members lecture the world over — from
just across the Charles River in Cambridge, Massachusetts, to across
the Pacific Ocean in Sydney, Australia.
Additionally, many faculty serve as United States government consul-
tants and participate on a variety of national and international commit-
tees. But, because Northeastern considers education its primary
mission, students will always find an enthusiastic and accessible faculty
to answer questions, solve problems, and stimulate enquiring minds.
Current research spans almost every academic and professional field
and is not limited to laboratory investigations or the "hard" sciences.
Every department of every college at Northeastern carries out some
basic or applied research projects.
A brief summary of some of the topics presently under investigation
by the faculty and students follows. Perhaps something here will spark
hidden interests that students never realized they had. Students desinng
to explore the opportunities for research participation should inquire at
the appropriate departmental offices.
Arts and Sciences
In the College of Arts and Sciences research projects reflect the diversity
of its eighteen departments. Research in the humanities and the natural
and social sciences includes studies in 19th-century Boston architec-
ture, the Off Off Broadway theatre, biochemistry, quantum field theory,
and infrared spectroscopy. As part of the College's interdisciplinary in-
terest in marine sciences, the Marine Science and Maritime Studies
Center has been established. At its Nahant field station and laboratory,
faculty and graduate students carry on research in marine chemistry,
biology, and botany.
230 / Other Schools and Colleges
Engineering
Research in the College of Engineering enconnpasses some of today's
most important technological subjects. Robotics, telecommunications,
signal processing, and the theoretical aspects of computer engineering
graphics are some of the major fields of interest within the College. But
not all studies are high technology oriented. Indeed, some faculty pur-
sue projects dealing with the electrical properties of human blood ves-
sels, while others investigate the mechanical characteristics of cement.
These seemingly diverse research areas do have one thing in common,
however: they deal with the improvement of our quality of life.
Computer Science
Northeastern University's new College of Computer Science represents
one of today's most active technological fields. The research interests of
the computer science faculty span network control algorithms, numerical
applications interactive graphics development, design of data base sys-
tems, artificial intelligence, and the software aspects of VLSI design
systems.
Criminal Justice
The College of Criminal Justice is one of the few institutions of its kind in
the United States to study crime and law in an interdisciplinary fashion.
Lawyers, social and forensic scientists, and system specialists collabo-
rate with Criminal Justice faculty in research activities focusing on both
crime detection and prevention. Some research directions currently pur-
sued by faculty include industrial espionage, private security systems,
and contemporary terrorism.
Law
The School of Law's research activities concentrate on the legal system
from perspectives encompassing the past, present, and future. Topics
include a historical and contemporary view of dispute resolution mech-
anisms, and the ramifications of a landmark court case on the mental
health profession. Law school curricula also come under investigative
scrutiny.
Boston-Bouve
The nature of research in Boston-Bouve College of Human Development
Professions is broad in range and diverse in approach. Changes in
human development and the roles of the teacher and clinician in facili-
tating such changes are topics of lively interest. Some of the current
research interests of the College include the communication abilities of
normal and hearing-impaired individuals, the role of exercise in cardio-
vascular health and disease, the relationship between age change and
the development of motor and cognitive skills in children, the evaluation
of clinical practice in physical therapy and educational practices in the
schools, and the examination of barriers to the employment of the dis-
abled in leisure services.
Nursing
Research interests in the College of Nursing are being directed toward
both its student population and the community at large. A longitudinal
study is now under way to examine predictors of success in the nursing
program. Other areas of interest include the learning experiences in
cooperative education, issues affecting women, and development of
leadership skills in nurses who are employed in middle management
positions.
Research / 231
Pharmacy and Allied Health
Professions
Research objectives in the College of Pharmacy and Allied Health
Professions have important ramifications for the nation's health. Studies
include new ways to analyze antidepressant and anticonvulsant drugs,
improving methods to diagnose bladder cancer, and clinical applica-
tions in respiratory therapy. The National Institutes of Health, the Office
of Naval Research, and the Union Carbide Company are among the
sponsors of the College's work.
Business Administration
Research in the College of Business Administration is partitioned be-
tween the theoretical and practical aspects of management, human re-
sources, and marketing. New approaches in corporate practice and
academic theory are being realized through conclusions reached by a
faculty examining such topics as high technology management, small
business entrepreneurship, and foreign investment in developing coun-
tries. Other studies concentrate on transportation problems in the United
States, government regulation in industry, and technological forecasting
in the high technology industry. Significant work is also being done by
the marketing faculty in the area of survey research.
Research Centers and Institutes
The Cooperative Education Research Center was established to ad-
dress the need for research in cooperative education and to respond to
the information needs of the co-op community across the country. To
fulfill these objectives, the Research Center conducts and reports a
variety of research studies and maintains a large data base of current
information about co-op programs and a clearinghouse of articles and
reports on co-op.
The Research Center has been a department of Northeastern Univer-
sity's Division of Cooperative Education since 1972. Its creation was a
direct outgrowth of the University establishing, in 1968, an endowed
chair in cooperative education, and the strong national interest in coop-
erative education that emerged during the late 1960s. It is currently
staffed by two full-time researchers and a department assistant.
Northeastern also has several interdisciplinary centers and institutes
which do not grant degrees, but they perform a variety of interesting and
relevant research. The Barnett Institute of Chemical Analysis and Mate-
rials Science has as its goal basic research in the fields of analytical
chemistry and material science and its application to problems of social
relevance. The Institute has developed an international reputation in the
fields of chromatography, mass spectrometry, amorphous metals, and
solar-energy storage devices. The Center for Electron f\/licroscopy is a
self-contained research unit that utilizes the latest scientific equipment
for training and research in cellular and subcellular structures. The Cen-
ter for Applied Social Research is a University-wide institute that deals
with issues of public policy and social research. Projects are presently
under way in the fields of criminal justice, public safety, mental health,
social welfare, and education.

To find a college or university that will suit personal needs and inter-
ests— a place where a student can learn to feel at home and make sound
preparation for a future career — is a goal of all students who plan to
continue their education beyond secondary school. The goal can be
achieved in a number of ways: by talking with enrolled students, faculty,
and alumni; by reading catalogs; and by visiting college campuses. In
fact, a college campus visit should be high on a prospective student's
list of priorities. Northeastern's Committee on Admissions extends a cor-
dial welcome to all prospective freshman and transfer students and has
planned a series of on-campus experiences to make a visit as worth-
while as possible.
The Admissions Conference
Students have many questions about Northeastern — its programs of
study, its services to students, and the Cooperative Plan of Education.
For this reason, the Committee on Admissions sponsors a series of
Orientation Conferences for students. Offered at 10:00 a.m. and 2:00
p.m. on Mondays and Fridays from October 1 through May 1 (except for
legal holidays), these conferences have been most successful in helping
students become better acquainted with the University. They include
comments by an admissions counselor, an informal question-and-an-
swer penod, and a multimedia presentation.
Special sessions are also held in the summer between July 1 and
September 1 . Further information about these summer conferences may
be obtained from the Admissions Department.
Guided Tours
Student-guided tours of the campus are usually held daily, Monday
through Friday, at 1 1 :00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. The admissions conference
and the tour should both be scheduled in advance by writing or calling
the Undergraduate Admissions Office (617-437-2211). The opportunity
to visit the University's facilities and to observe student life on campus is
one important way to learn about Northeastern. Commuting students
who wish to visit the University's Suburban Campus in Burlington are
encouraged to do so. This will appeal especially to those whose home
communities are located north or northwest of Boston.
Undergraduate Admissions / 235
The Interview
Although it is not required, a personal interview is generally regarded as
an appropriate opportunity for students with special questions to meet
with an admissions counselor. In studying the secondary school record,
the counselor may discover some factor that ments further explanation.
In this event, the applicant may be asked to arrange a visit to the Admis-
sions Office. The interview may be held at the request of the student or
the counselor. Contacts with Admissions personnel will be more benefi-
cial if the Northeastern University Bulletin has been carefully read before
the personal interview.
Special Note
Northeastern does not hold Saturday classes for students in the Basic
Colleges; for that reason, guided tours cannot be provided at that time.
A weekday visit to the University is recommended. However, special
Saturday appointments may be arranged on a limited basis.
General Requirements for Entrance
An applicant for admission to Northeastern University has, ideally, com-
pleted a challenging secondary school program— a program that in-
cludes courses in English, foreign language, mathematics, laboratory
science, and history. Proficiency in a foreign language is especially
important for students entering the College of Arts and Sciences. But the
overall school record has importance in itself, both as an indication of
achievement in subjects critical to university study and as a reflection of
a wise choice of electives. The high school transcript should provide
clear evidence of sound study habits so vital to success in higher edu-
cation. Candidates are also encouraged to broaden their reading out-
side of class. The student who can communicate ideas, understand the
meaning of words, and write effectively is at a distinct advantage.
Today's high school students have had the advantage of many inno-
vations that have greatly enriched their experience — independent study,
small group seminars, research projects, and off-campus experiences
related to community service or future vocations. Northeastern is under-
standably interested in the growth of the work/study concept in many
secondary schools, and the Committee on Admissions looks favorably
upon the variety of these worthwhile experiences.
Preparation for Study in Engineering, Computer Science, Science
and Mathematics, and Allied Health Professions
It IS only natural that evidence of special aptitude and the highest pos-
sible level of preparation in the sciences and mathematics should be
required for entrance to certain programs of study offered by the Uni-
versity. Such programs include:
236 / Undergraduate Admissions
College of Arts and Sciences* College of Engineering
Biology, Chemistry, Geology, All programs
Mathematics, Physics,
Applied Physics
School of Engineering
Technology (formerly
Boston-Bouve College of Lincoln College)
Human Development Bachelor of Engineering
Professions* Technology program
Physical Education
Physical Therapy College of Nursing
School and Community
Bachelor of Science program
Health Education College of Pharmacy and
College of Computer Science Allied Health Professions
Bachelor of Science program ^" Programs
Applicants are encouraged to complete a full sequence of science
and mathematics courses if possible. In science, this would usually
include a full academic year of study and laboratory work in biology,
chemistry, and physics; and, in mathematics, geometry, algebra 1 and
2, and a fourth year of trigonometry and/or analysis. Experience has
shown that applicants to programs emphasizing mathematics and sci-
ence also need courses in the social sciences and humanities to be fully
prepared for advanced study.
Preparation for Study in Business Administration
Candidates for admission must have successfully completed a strong
preparatory program in high school, including courses in geometry,
algebra 1 , and algebra 2. While mathematics plays an important role in
the total program, strong emphasis is also placed on liberal studies to
effect an intellectual balance with liberal and appreciative courses.
Preparation for Study in the Social Sciences, Teaching, and
Criminal Justice
Many candidates for admission have enjoyed their greatest success in
areas other than mathematics-science. Their interests lie, quite naturally,
in the study of the humanities and social sciences. Thus, such a student
may choose to apply for admission to one of the following programs:
College of Arts and Sciences* In addition to the science programs,
the College offers programs in Arts and Humanities with majors in Art,
Theatre and Dance, English, Journalism, Modern Languages, Music,
Philosophy, and Speech Communication; and in Social Sciences with
majors in African-American Studies, Economics, History, Human Ser-
vices, Linguistics, Political Science (including a concentration in Public
Administration), Psychology, and Sociology/Anthropology.
Boston-Bouve College of Human Development Professions* A
strong liberal arts background is recommended since graduates will be
working in professions requiring an understanding of the behavioral and
social implications of human interaction.
*See page 17 for additional majors offered by these Colleges.
Undergraduate Admissions / 237
College of Criminal Justice By its very nature, the program in Crimi-
nal Justice requires a strong base of liberal arts study before profes-
sional courses are introduced. Applicants for admission should therefore
demonstrate the ability to succeed in their study of the behavioral, social,
and human services.
Entrance Examinations
(Freshmen)
Research clearly indicates that the best single predictor of college aca-
demic success is achievement in secondary school. This factor, together
with recommendations from the school counselor, weighs most heavily
in the evaluation process. Although the Scholastic Aptitude Test and
three Achievement Tests of the College Board are required, the Com-
mittee on Admissions recognizes that these test results do not measure
such qualities as determination, imagination., and leadership.
English composition has to be one of the three required Achievement
Tests. Students can choose the other two tests in subjects in which they
feel most confident. Students whose native tongue is not English may
substitute the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) for the
English Composition Test. No single schedule of testing is recom-
mended, but applicants are advised to take subject matter tests while
they are currently studying those subjects.
For full information about College Board Examinations, consult a
school guidance counselor or write directly to:
The College Board
P.O. Box 592
Princeton, New Jersey 08540
or
P.O. Box 1025
Berkeley. California 94701
The American College Testing Program may be substituted for the
College Board Testing Program. For full information, write to:
American College Testing Program
P.O. Box 168
Iowa City, Iowa 52243
Admissions counselors also will be glad to answer questions about
these testing programs.
Advanced Placement
The University grants advanced placement credit to those students with
a score of 3 or better in their Advanced Placement Examinations. Stu-
dents may take the examinations in the following subjects: American
history, art (history of art, studio art), biology, chemistry, classics (Virgil,
lyric), computer science, English (composition, literature), European his-
tory, French (language, literature), German language, mathematics (cal-
culus AB, calculus BC), music, physics (physics B, physics C-
mechanics, physics C-electricity and magnetism), and Spanish (lan-
guage, literature).
Applicants are required to take the Advanced Placement Tests of the
College Board in May.
238 / Undergraduate Admissions
College-Level Examination
Program
The University cooperates with the College Board in its CLEP Program.
CLEP provides a national program of five General Examinations and
forty-two Subject Examinations to evaluate nontraditional college-level
education. Qualified students are encouraged to take the general and/
or subject matter examinations of CLEP, so that college credit may be
allowed upon entrance. In general, the Committee on Admissions ac-
cepts the score range recommendations of the College Board. North-
eastern University has been designated a CLEP Testing Center.
Inquiries may be addressed to the Counseling and Testing Center,
Room 302, Ell Student Center.
Applying for Admission and Plans of Admission
Entry Dates
Northeastern University admits qualified freshman students to all pro-
grams in September. The University also has a January entrance date
for most of its programs. Entrance dates for transfer students vary by
program; many admit students at the beginning of each of the four
quarters.
The application should be filled out properly, signed, and forwarded
to the Dean of Admissions, Northeastern University, Boston, Massachu-
setts 02115, together with a nonrefundable $25.00 application fee.
Checks should be made payable to Northeastern University. This fee
may be waived in cases of extreme hardship as endorsed by the can-
didate's secondary school counselor or social worker. It is to the stu-
dent's advantage to submit the application for admission promptly.
Students are also responsible for making sure that their transcripts and
College Board scores are submitted to the University.
Program Selection
Many students have difficulty in selecting a program of studies. For this
reason, the University has introduced flexibility into its programs so that
students may explore alternative fields or tailor their programs to per-
sonal goals. Freshman candidates have to indicate a choice of college
and, in some cases, a major. In Arts and Sciences, Business Administra-
tion, Computer Science, Criminal Justice, Engineering, Pharmacy and
Allied Health Professions, and the School of Engineering Technology
(formerly Lincoln College), students do not have to make a definite
choice of major concentration or emphasis until the end of the freshman
year and in some programs until the end of the sophomore year. There
is also flexibility in choosing a major in the teacher preparation program
offered by Boston-Bouve College of Human Development Professions.
Rolling Admission Plan
Under Northeastern's Rolling Admission Plan, decisions on admission
are made as soon as all of the required credentials (including first mark-
ing period senior grades and College Board test scores) have been
submitted and reviewed. In all cases of acceptance, candidates are to
successfully complete their senior year of high school.
Students should note that enrollments are limited in some programs
where the number of applications is expected to exceed campus re-
sources.
Undergraduate Admissions / 239
Deferred Admission Plan
Accepted students who wish to participate in the Deferred Admission
Plan will be asked to describe the activities they plan for the year pre-
ceding enrollment. Students may choose this plan for a variety of rea-
sons that may include travel, health problems, or work. Information on
the plan is available from the Department of Undergraduate Admissions.
Early Admission — Juniors,
Second-Semester Seniors
In certain cases, students may enroll at Northeastern prior to high school
graduation. Such students may enroll either in September or January,
thereby reducing the time to complete degree requirements by one year.
A special form provided by the Admissions Committee requires the en-
dorsement of the school principal or guidance counselor for early ad-
mission. Write to the Department of Undergraduate Admissions for
further details.
Carl S. Ell Scholars Program
The University's Carl S. Ell Scholar award provides recognition to stu-
dents for their high academic achievement
Each year twenty-five freshman students are selected for this aca-
demic achievement award. The scholars are awarded full freshman-year
tuition scholarships, and those who maintain a superior scholastic aver-
age during their years at Northeastern are awarded one-half tuition
grants for each subsequent year. In addition to receiving financial assis-
tance, the scholars are invited to join the Ell Scholars Association in their
freshman year. The association endeavors to build a community of
scholars within the University by providing a forum for intellectual ex-
change. Students are usually notified of their selection before Feb-
ruary 1 .
B.A. or B.S./Juris Doctor (J. D.)
Degree Program
The University will admit a limited number of highly qualified freshmen
to the Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science Degree/Juris Doctor ( J.D.)
degree program. Freshman students accepted to this program have to
complete their undergraduate program, graduate in the top 1 5% of their
class, and score in the top 20% on the Law School Aptitude Test (LSAT)
before they can begin the Law School studies. Students who are ac-
cepted as freshmen to this program and meet the above criteria will be
eligible to continue their studies in Northeastern University's School of
Law.
For more information about this program, please contact the Dean of
Admissions.
Community Financial-Aid Grant
Programs
To supplement student earnings from cooperative education experi-
ences, and the University's regular student financial aid program, the
University has established a number of special community grant pro-
grams for disadvantaged students. In all cases, students have to be
accepted for admission and complete the University's application pro-
cedure for financial aid (see p. 255 for complete details) to qualify for
one of the special community grant programs. For additional information,
write to the Department of Undergraduate Admissions.
240 / Undergraduate Admissions
Five- Year Bachelor's/Master's
Degree
Cooperative Education Program
Qualified high school students committed to reaching a high level of
success in engineering can now accelerate their progress by entering
directly into the College of Engineering's Five-Year Bachelor's/Master's
Degree Program. This full-time program allows honor students to earn
both degrees in five years — and at the same time gain extensive on-the-
job experience.
The BS/MS program is offered by three departments: Electrical and
Computer Engineering, Industrial Engineering and Information Systems,
and Mechanical Engineering. The program incorporates cooperative
education, enabling students to alternate periods of academic work with
paid employment in their chosen career field.
Students generally take five courses per quarter and must maintain a
3.2 quality point average to continue in the program. All students begin
with a basic curriculum that includes calculus, physics and labs, com-
puter programming, and chemistry. At the same time, study of the social
sciences and humanities broadens their awareness and understanding
of the spheres in which they will practice their professions.
For additional information, students should contact the Department of
Undergraduate Admissions.
College of Arts and Sciences
Students accepted for entrance to the College of Arts and Sciences
should refer to page 21 for the description of the four tracks students
are placed in by the College before beginning their freshman studies.
Alternative Freshman- Year
Program
The Alternative Freshman-Year Program was developed in collaboration
with University College, a division of Northeastern serving students who
seek a flexible course schedule. This degree-track program may be
ideal for those students who feel that their high school grades and/or
test scores do not reflect their true abilities.
This program is specifically structured to assist students in making
the academic and social adjustments necessary for success in college.
Working with a counselor, students follow a prescribed curriculum de-
signed to meet their individual needs and to help them sharpen basic
academic skills in writing, mathematics, and reading comprehension,
while gaining confidence in their ability to do college-level work. In ad-
dition, the program also permits students to sample different areas of
study before committing themselves to a specific major.
The full range of counseling services, physical education facilities,
dormitory arrangements, and extracurricular programs is generally
available to students enrolled in this program.
For further information about the Alternative Freshman-Year Program,
see page 21 7.
Programs for Minority Students
Northeastern University is committed to expanding educational oppor-
tunities for minority students of high academic promise and to enrolling
a student body reflective of the diverse ethnic and social composition of
our society.
To ensure that minority students have the greatest opportunity for
success, the University's African-American Institute provides tutorial and
counseling services as well as programmed instruction.
Undergraduate Admissions / 241
Project Ujima
Project Ujima is an intensive academic support program for students
whose earlier education did not prepare them adequately for the college
program of their choice.
It provides Project Ujima participants with a variety of supportive ser-
vices aimed at developing academic skills and a positive attitude to-
wards learning throughout their tenure at the University. Special
counseling, tutorials, and educational workshops comprise supportive
activities of the Project. Project Ujima is an academic component of the
African-American Institute.
Open Campus Courses
Under Northeastern University's Open Campus Plan, qualified high
school students who can gam release from their schools are invited to
take full-credit courses at Northeastern while they are still enrolled in
secondary school. In this way, students are able to gain a better idea of
the collegiate environment while they work toward college credit. For
further information, write to the Department of Undergraduate Admis-
sions.
Cooperative Freshman-Year
Program
College of Engineering Summer Quarter Each June, the College of
Engineering enrolls a limited number of qualified students in all pro-
grams under a special summer Cooperative Freshman-Year Program.
Students may enter Northeastern University in the June following com-
pletion of the senior or junior secondary-school year and complete the
first quarter of their college freshman year from June to September.
Graduating high school seniors then continue their freshman aca-
demic programs or undertake cooperative work assignments. The first
cooperative work assignment normally occurs either in the winter quarter
(January to March) or in the spring quarter (April to June). Under special
circumstances, and at the discretion of the faculty coordinator, freshmen
may be placed in September, following completion of their first aca-
demic quarter. After this work assignment, the student will return to
Northeastern and complete the freshman year. The exact schedule will
be based upon the professional judgment of the Cooperative Education
Department and the academic progress of the student.
By extending the freshman year, enrollees have the opportunity to
defray a portion of their first-year expenses.
Following the summer term, juniors have the option of returning to their
secondary schools with credits earned toward college degrees or stay-
ing on at Northeastern, with the permission of their secondary schools,
as members of the freshman class. Students who choose to remain at
Northeastern then have the opportunity either in the fall or winter quarter,
to participate in cooperative work assignments similar to those held by
graduating seniors. For additional information, write to the Department
of Undergraduate Admissions.
Orientation and
Registration
The orientation and registration program officially launches your aca-
demic career at Northeastern.
The administration, faculty, and many upper-division students have
planned several days of programs, faculty seminars, meetings, and spe-
242 / Undergraduate Admissions
cial events designed to help you adapt to college life in general and
Northeastern University in particular.
In addition to participating in regular registration operations, receiving
class schedules, and purchasing books, you will meet with the dean and
faculty members of your college, who will provide information concern-
ing your planned academic major, courses, and career goals.
You will have the opportunity to attend "how to" study seminars, i.e.,
study successfully, be assertive, make friends, etc., as well as peer-
counseling sessions, and many other informative events. The Depart-
ment of Cooperative Education, for example, has planned meetings
regarding job opportunities and school-work experiences.
You will be introduced to members of more than 150 student organi-
zations, some of which you might choose to join. Guided tours of Bos-
ton's historical and cultural centers will also be available.
Skill and Competency
Development
Responding to a growing national concern for the improvement of basic
writing, numerical, and reading/study skills, the University extends to
freshman in several of its participating Colleges the opportunity to en-
hance the likelihood of academic success as freshmen through enroll-
ment in compensatory (i.e., development) courses.
Selection for such course work is based upon the correlation of com-
petency data, derived from specifically prepared testing procedures
administered on campus along with pre-freshman academic creden-
tials.
The freshman writing sequence, the mathematics sequence, and the
reading/study skills course each bears full credit in participating
colleges. (See page 216.)
Instructors, freshman advisers, and the Freshman Affairs Staff of the
Dean of Students' Office are ready to assist involved freshmen in achiev-
ing success in their endeavors.
Special Students
A limited number of special students may be admitted to the Basic
Colleges. Special students are not degree candidates and must meet
criteria set by the college to which they are admitted.
Those admitted as special students usually have completed some
college-level work. The following are among the applicants who may be
considered:
— a college or university graduate who needs additional course work to
prepare or qualify for a graduate program;
— individuals, recommended by deans or program directors, who need
particular formal course work to meet professional requirements for
certification;
— students who need several courses to complete degree requirements
at another college or university, provided they have written approval
from the appropriate college dean; others who are recommended by
deans of the colleges to take courses leading to regular admission.
In such cases, special-student enrollment should be limited to one
academic quarter.
All special students will be charged a nonrefundable application fee
of $25. Before obtaining and paying for an application, the potential '
special student should consult a counselor in the office of the dean of
Undergraduate Admissions / 243
the college offering the course(s) desired. Tuition will be at the quarter-
hour rate in effect at the time and must be paid before registration is
valid. Special students will be admitted to classes only when there is
space available.
All special students must obtain approval from the office of the dean
of the Basic College in which they wish to enroll prior to each quarter's
registration, but will be required to pay the application fee only once.
International Students
International students are required to complete and file the regular un-
dergraduate application at least six months before registration. They
must meet all admission requirements, including the standardized tests
administered by the College Board. All academic credentials should be
translated into English before being forwarded to the Department of
Admissions. After notification of acceptance, students must pay the re-
quired deposits and fully complete the University's Declaration and Cer-
tification of Finances Form by the date specified on the acceptance
certificate before a Certificate of Eligibility (1-20 Form or IAP-66 Form)
can be forwarded.
All international students participate in the University's five-year co-
operative education program. Only students in the College of Arts and
Sciences may petition to complete their degree program in four years.
Northeastern University is authorized under Federal law to enroll non-
immigrant alien students.
Students may obtain a copy of the international student admissions
booklet, IVIany Tongues, One Language, by writing to the Department of
Undergraduate Admissions.
English as a Second Language
Proficiency Requirement
Before being considered for admission, students whose native language
is not English are required to demonstrate some English language pro-
ficiency. This can be done by submitting the results of the College
Board's Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), by successfully
completing an approved English language course of study, or by being
currently enrolled in such a course.
Before being allowed to enroll in any university classes, all interna-
tional students, along with any other student whose first language is not
English, are required to take the English Proficiency Test administered
by the University's English Language Center. This requirement applies
to all nonnative speakers regardless of the length of time they have been
in the United States or their previous study of English.
The results of this test will be used to assign students to their English
courses. Students with minimal English language skills will be assigned
to the noncredit Intensive English Course. The level of course work re-
quired in English will determine the student's academic schedule.
Admission of Transfer Students
Students wishing to transfer to Northeastern University may request ad-
vanced standing credit as upperclassmen on the basis of acceptable
credits earned in an accredited two- or four-year institution or a technical
244 / Undergraduate Admissions
institute. In addition, Northeastern University participates in the Ad-
vanced Placennent Program (APR) as administered by the College En-
trance Examination Board. The University will grant college credit for
such courses in which a score of 3 or better has been attained. Students
may also receive advanced standing credit for satisfactory performance
through both the General and Subject Examinations of the College Level
Examination Program (CLEP). A score of 500 or better (general exami-
nations) and a score of 50 or better (subject examinations) are required
on any CLEP test to receive credit at Northeastern University.
Basic Requirements
1 . Transfer students will be admitted to Northeastern University when
they have achieved a satisfactory college record at another insti-
tution; that is, a satisfactory record appropriate to the course of
study they wish to pursue.
2. Credit will generally be granted toward a Northeastern degree for
any reasonably equivalent course completed with a passing
grade at another accredited institution.
3. Candidates must be in good standing and must be eligible to
continue in the institution they are currently attending.
Undergraduate Admissions / 245
Application Procedure
1 . Connpiete an application for admission form and forward it with a
non-refundable fee of $25.00 to the Department of Undergraduate
Admissions. All transfer students are required to indicate their
choice of college and major on the application.
2. Submit an official transcript of their high school record.
3. Request that an official transcript from each college attended be
sent to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions directly from the
Registrar's Office of the respective colleges. A listing of courses in
progress for the current academic year (including course number,
course title, and number of credits to be earned in each course)
should also be fonwarded.
NOTE: Transfer students are not required to complete entrance exami-
nations.
Deadline dates for completion of all applications for each of the four
quarters are as follows:
Winter Quarter November 1
Spnng Quarter February 1
Summer Quarter May 1
Fall Quarter July 1
The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is required for
students whose native language is not English. International students
must obtain authorization from the Immigration and Naturalization Ser-
vice to transfer from one school to another. Please refer to page 243 for
complete information for International Students.
Orientation and Registration
All transfer students are required to participate in an orientation and
registration program scheduled immediately before the beginning of
classes. This one- to five-day program provides transfer students with
the opportunity to meet with their faculty advisers and plan their course
schedules. They will also meet with members of the Student Affairs
Office and the Cooperative Education Department.
Students should bring a copy of their official Certificate of Acceptance
to the Orientation and Registration program. In most cases, the certifi-
cate will list each course (and its credit value) for which the transfer
student has received credit. The total number of credits being received
will also be listed on the certificate.
Students will only receive full transfer credit for courses that are listed
on the certificate of acceptance and for which a grade has been re-
corded on an official transcnpt from their former college(s).
Transfer credit from other institutions is not computed into the North-
eastern University quality point average.
Northeastern University uses the quarter calendar and awards quarter
hours of credit for courses that are successfully completed. Each quarter
hour of credit is equivalent to three quarters (3/4) of one semester hour.
246 / Undergraduate Admissioris
Most Northeastern courses are equivalent to three (3) sennester hours of
credit or four (4) quarter hours.
In general, students who successfully complete 48 quarter hours will
usually qualify for sophonnore standing, 80 for middler, 112 for junior,
and 148 for senior. All upperclass course selection for transfer students
is planned with their faculty advisors.
Additional information about transfer policies and procedures may be
obtained from the Department of Admissions.
Required Deposits from Freshmen and
Transfer Students
If the Committee on Admissions makes a favorable decision on a stu-
dent's application, the student will be asked to submit a nonrefundable
tuition deposit of $100 by May 1 . This deposit serves as an indication of
intent to enroll and is applied to the first-quarter tuition account.
Students applying for entrance dates other than September should
carefully read their certificates of acceptance, which will indicate the
required deposit dates.
General and Special Health Requirements
Prior to registration at Northeastern the Lane Health Center's Pre-en-
trance Physical Examination Form is sent to each student following ac-
ceptance. It is mandatory that each accepted applicant return this
completed form, which includes the medical history. This examination
requires a tuberculin test within six months of the registration date. A
rubella titre test is also required for all students. All students are required
to have physician-documented proof of having been immunized against
measles, mumps, rubella, tetanus, and diphtheria. The rubella vaccine
may be waived if a satisfactory antibody titre against rubella is demon-
strated. This information must be forwarded to the University physician
for review. Proper health clearance is considered a condition of admis-
sion.
Except in the most extreme instances, neither physical nor emotional
problems are considered a bar to admission. In fact, we actively en-
courage handicapped students to become part of the University com-
munity. With pertinent information, we usually can make the adjustments
to college life smoother and supply special aids when needed.
Sound health and physical fitness are especially important for stu-
dents in the Boston-Bouve College of Human Development Professions
and the College of Nursing and are required by their nonuniversity affili-
ations. Candidates for admission to the College of Nursing are required
to receive special health clearance prior to enrollment. A repeat health
247
examination by the Lane Health Center is given in the third year for
physical therapy students in the Boston-Bouve College of Human De-
velopment Professions.
Students in Medical Laboratory Science, Radiology, Pharmacy, Nurs-
ing, and Physical Therapy are required to have a recent tuberculin test
prior to entenng clinical affiliations.
A tuberculin test is also required of all students prior to entering their
period of student teaching.

Tuition and Fees
Students are advised that tuition rates, room-and-board charges, and
fees are subject to revision by the Board of Trustees at any time. They
should also note that the freshman year consists of three quarters of full-
time study. The Cooperative Plan, whereby students may be gainfully
employed, does not begin until the sophomore year.
The primary purpose of the Cooperative Plan is to provide invaluable
on-the-job training, but it also can help make education possible without
the accumulation of a large personal debt. Because of the Plan — and
the University's determination to keep basic expenses as low as possi-
ble— many deserving students who might not otherwise be able to afford
an education have attended Northeastern.
Expenses for the Freshman Year
(Three Quarters)
Tuition for the freshman year, for those who enroll in September, is pay-
able in three installments at the beginning of the fall, winter, and spring
quarters. For those who enroll in January, payments are due at the
beginning of the winter, spring, and summer quarters.

to attend classes unless their tuition has been paid, or specific arrange-
ments have been made with the Bursar for a plan of deferred payment.
Tuition and Fees / 253
It IS the student's responsibility to ensure that all tuition and dormitory
charges and fees are paid when due. If a bill has not been received
prior to the start of classes each quarter, it is necessary that the student
come in person to the Bursar's Office where a bill will be processed.
Any discrepancies in billing should be immediately brought to the
attention of the Bursar's Office. If there is a billing problem, the undis-
puted portion of the bill should be paid on time to avoid any additional
late fees. Failure to receive a bill through the mail or to pay the undis-
puted portion of the bill are not justification for late payment of amounts
actually owed.
Deferred Payment
Deferred payment of tuition entails a fee of $10, which is levied on all
accounts not paid by the end of the second week of classes. To arrange
for a deferred payment plan, students must contact the Bursar's Office

A fee of $100 will be assessed for failure to arrange for, and make,
payments in accordance with the prescribed regulations.

one-week term of camping at the Warren Center. A one-week session in
winter sports is optional for Recreation and Leisure Studies majors in
their junior or senior year (at a cost of $1 75).

which students pay at the beginning of each quarter. Tuition refunds in
all schools and colleges may be granted through the first four weeks of
a quarter only when specific conditions are met and on the basis of the
date appearing on the official withdrawal application. (Nonattendance
does not constitute official withdrawal.) Questions regarding refunds
should be discussed with the Dean of Students' Office. When approved,
refunds are made as follows:
254 / College Expenses

special circumstances so adjudged by the University). The $400 deposit
is not refundable. Board charges may be refunded for all unused por-
tions when the food identification card is surrendered to the Office of the
Dean of Students for Housing.
Overloads

In addition, a course worth one quarter hour of credit may be taken
without added charge. However, any other additional courses will be
billed as overloads to the students taking them.
255
Housing
Northeastern University's location, in one of the most central and exciting
sections of Boston, offers the student an opportunity to participate in
many cultural and educational activities. With residence halls on the
Back Bay campus, between the Museum of Fine Arts and Symphony
Hall, the city is at your doorstep. Northeastern's library, student center,
and athletic facilities are nearby.
Most of the residence halls have lounge areas and recreation rooms,
including color television. Pnvacy and a quiet study environment are
encouraged, but students must recognize that residence hall living can-
not provide the privacy and quiet they may enjoy in their own homes.
However, the benefits, as well as the occasional inconveniences of living
in a community, may contribute to personal growth.
A natural advantage of residence living may be the increased involve-
ment in social and educational activities. Students are encouraged to
join the committees that make decisions about student life.
Full- or part-time residence hall staff reside in each residence facility.
Housing Application and
Contract
All students requesting University housing on their application for admis-
sion to Northeastern will receive a housing application. The completed
application must be returned with the $400 deposit according to the
instructions provided. Assignments, which are made on a first-come,
first-served basis, are mailed as long as the deposit is returned by the
established deadline. Fall housing assignments are processed and
mailed during the month of August. This non-refundable deposit will be
credited to the student's first quarter residence charges.
The freshman contract is for three full quarters; upperclass transfer
students must file applications on a quarterly basis as their contract is
valid for only one quarter at a time. The upperclass deposit is $250.
Contracts for summer-quarter freshmen are handled on an individual
basis in accordance with the student's academic schedule.
l\/larried Student Housing
No University housing is available for married students. However, the
University does maintain listings of off-campus rooms and apartments.
These are available at the Housing Office, 104-106 Ell Building. Al-
though the Housing Office has agreed to make this listing available,
we do not inspect or endorse the advertised property or space.
The Selection
The choice of housing is an important consideration for the first year,
and freshmen are encouraged to visit Northeastern before making a
decision. Tours of residence halls are available by advance arrange-
ment with the Department of Admissions.
Upperclass and transfer students may live in residence halls or apart-
ments. Freshmen are usually assigned to residence halls unless avail-
able space exists only in apartments.
Most rooms are designed to accommodate two students; however,
some three- and four-person rooms are available in certain of these
facilities. Some residence halls feature "group areas" that house from
three to six students in a two- or three-room area.
256 /College Expenses
The University maintains some apartment units for men and women.
These apartments accommodate up to four students. Assignments are
made based on the date of receipt of the housing deposit and applica-
tion. Each unit is fully furnished, and the rental charge includes utilities.
Off-Campus Housing
Arrangements for off-campus housing are the responsibility of the stu-
dent and the students family Though the Housing Office, 104-106
Ell, has agreed to make a listing of off-campus housing available,
we do not inspect or endorse the advertised property or space.
Fraternity Housing
Certain fraternities provide opportunities for room and board for men at
reasonable rates. Information regarding these housing facilities may be
obtained from the Housing Office, 104-106 Ell, Northeastern University,
Boston, Massachusetts 021 1 5.
Cars
Freshmen living in residence halls are not allowed to have cars or
other powered vehicles on campus.
Upperclass students are strongly discouraged from bringing cars
with them, as the University does not permit overnight parking, and
there is a severe shortage of public parking spaces near the Univer-
sity.

ipate in the University Food Plan. Three different meal plans are avail-
able.

the University may close or consolidate certain dining facilities.
Security
Security for the residence facilities is provided by trained University
police officers. In addition, residents are required to show appropriate
identification to the security proctor when entering the residence hall.
Guests, both male and female, must sign in with the proctor.
The University police provide escort service for students who wish to
go from one section of the campus to another late at night.
Financial Assistance
260
Financial Aid
Charles M. Devlin, M.Ed., Dean of Student Financial Services
Financial assistance in the form of loans, grants, and work-study is avail-
able on an annual basis to qualified students. Undergraduate financial
aid funds are administered in accordance with a nationally established
policy and philosophy of financial aid for students pursuing a degree in
higher education. It is a basic premise of this policy that parents have
an obligation to pay for the education of their children to the extent that
they are able to do so. In addition, students are expected to contribute
to their educational cost from summer and co-op earnings, outside
agency awards, their own assets, and other resources they may have.
Financial aid is available only for meeting the difference between the
total family contnbution (parents' and student's contribution) and the
annual educational costs. The parents' contribution is determined by an
objective analysis of the family's financial state; net income, number of
dependents, allowable expenses, indebtedness, and assets. Criteria
established by the College Scholarship Service are used in making the
evaluation.
The University does not award any form of financial assistance to
students who are not citizens or eligible permanent residents of the
United States.
Application Procedure
Initial Year (Freshman and Transfer Students) Applicants seeking
financial assistance are required to complete and mail a Financial Aid
Form (FAF) to the College Scholarship Service by February 15 for Sum-
mer or Fall entrance and by October 15 for Winter or Spring entrance.
Transfer applicants must also complete an institutional "Upperclass Ap-
plication for Financial Aid" and have completed Financial Aid Transcripts
from all previously attended post-secondary schools. These two docu-
ments must be submilted by April 15 for summer or fall entrance and by
October 15 for Winter or Spring entrance.
On the FAF you must indicate Northeastern University (code 3667),
the Pell Grant Program, and your state scholarship program (if applica-
ble) as recipients of the FAF. The FAF is available from secondary school
guidance offices or the Financial Aid Office.
Awards are made on a first-applied, first-aided basis and are contin-
gent on continued funding. The typical award takes the form of a pack-
age combining a grant, a loan, and/or part-time employment. Awards
may be adjusted at any time upon receipt of other funds or changes in
status.
All initial year recipients of financial aid are required to submit a copy
of their parents' prior year tax return before their financial aid award is
final.
Upperclass (Sophomore-Senior) Upperclass applicants are required
to submit a Financial Aid Form to the College Scholarship Service and a
Northeastern University "Upperclass Application for Financial Assis-
tance" each year for which they desire assistance. On the FAF you must
indicate Northeastern University (code 3667), the Pell Grant Program,
Financial Aid / 261
and your state scholarship program (if applicable) as recipients of the
FAF. The FAF must be filed by February 15 for all upperclass aid appli-
cants. The "Upperclass Application" is due by April 15 for students in
school Fall and Spring quarters and August 15 for students in school
Winter and Summer quarters. Financial aid awards are made for the
entire academic year.
Graduate and Law Students All Graduate and Law School applicants
must file the Graduate and Professional School Financial Aid Services
(GAPSFAS) form, a Northeastern University "Application for Financial
Assistance," and a Financial Aid Transcript from each post-secondary
school attended. Parents' financial information is required on the GAPS-
FAS form from all applicants. Application deadlines are as follows:
Law students February 15
All other graduate students April 15
Eligibility and Selection
In order to be eligible to participate in the financial aid program at
Northeastern University, all students must a) apply for financial aid, com-
pleting the proper application forms and submitting them in a timely
fashion; b) have documented financial need; c) be in attendance at
Northeastern University, pursuing a first bachelor's degree on at least a
half-time basis in an eligible program; d) be making normal academic
progress as determined by the college in which the student is enrolled;
e) meet any other eligibility requirements of the individual aid programs.
Due to limited funding. Northeastern University is not always able to
meet the full financial need of all applicants. Priorities in awarding aid
will be based on highest financial need, meeting application deadlines,
and the potential for academic achievement. All financial aid is contin-
gent on the availability of funds.
Most students who attend Northeastern University move along with
their class. On request, information about retention and attrition can be
obtained from the Office of the Dean of Students.

State Assistance Programs
The Office of Financial Aid strongly advises applicants for aid to
apply to state scholarship programs at the same time that they
apply for aid from the University.
State Grants and Scholarships
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts provides scholarship aid to Mas-
sachusetts students pursuing full-time programs of study in an accred-
ited college or university. Application is made by completing the
Massachusetts version of the Financial Aid Form. Awards are made in
the summer of each year, and applications for entering freshmen are
available through their high school guidance offices. Out-of-state stu-
dents should investigate aid programs in their respective states. Sub-
stantial state aid is offered by Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, Vermont, and Maine. Application is by the Financial Aid
Form (FAF).
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts also provides assistance
through the Gilbert Matching Grant Program and four pilot programs
which include a work, loan, and two grant programs. Application for
these programs is based on a completed Financial Aid Form. Funds are
awarded by the Financial Aid Office based on guidelines published by
the state.
Massachusetts Family Education
Loans
The Massachusetts College Student Loan Authority, in cooperation with
Northeastern University, offers a program of Family Education Loans
under which parents can borrow to pay the cost of education and repay
in low monthly payments over fifteen years. Neither students nor parents
need to be Massachusetts residents. A credit-worthy spouse may also
qualify to borrow under the program. To participate, a student must be
enrolled at least half-time. Families can borrow up to three-quarters of
the yearly cost of attendance. There is a $2,000 minimum loan amount.
Applications may be requested from the Office of Financial Aid.
Federal Programs
Note: All Federal financial aid programs are subject to change,
depending upon adequate and continuing Federal support.
Pell Grant
This is a program of direct federal grants to undergraduate students only. Eligible
students can receive as much as $2,100 per year toward the cost of their edu-
cation. Pell Grants are generally available to all students who have not previously
received a bachelor's degree, who are not in this country on a student visa, and
who are attending college on at least a half-time basis (minimum 6 quarter hours).
Students must be enrolled in an eligible program for the purpose of obtaining a
degree or certificate. To utilize this program to the fullest, all students applying
for financial aid must file for a Pell Grant.
Applications for a Pell Grant can be made on the Financial Aid Form (FAF),
which is available from local high schools, or by calling the Pell Grant unit of the
Financial Aid Office at 617-437-3804.
Financial Aid / 263
College Work-Study Program
This is a need-based program of part-time employment under the sponsorship of
the federal government. It is designed to help full-time students meet their edu-
cational expenses. Students generally work part-time while attending classes.
Eligible students may work for the University or for public or private nonprofit off-
campus agencies. The Office of Financial Aid has the responsibility of placing
qualified students in their job assignments.
Supplementary Educational
Opportunity Grant
Supplementary Grants are direct awards provided by the federal government.
They are available to a limited number of full-time undergraduate students who
present evidence of needing financial assistance. Eligible students who are ac-
cepted for entrance may receive Supplementary Educational Opportunity Grants
ranging from $200 to $2,000 for each year of their undergraduate education.
Health Professions Loan
This program is available to full-time undergraduate students who have been
accepted for a course of study leading to a Bachelor of Science degree in
Pharmacy. A student who evidences financial need and academic promise may
borrow as much as $2,500 per academic year. Repayment of principal and inter-
est does not begin until one year after the student ceases to pursue a full-time
course of study. Repayment of principal may be extended over a ten-year period
with interest at the rate of 9 percent per annum.
Guaranteed Student Loan
Program
Under this program, students who are enrolled for at least one-half the normal
academic work load may borrow from a participating bank or other financial
institution. Terms and conditions vary from state to state, but the law allows
dependent undergraduates to borrow a maximum of $2,500 per year, up to a
total of $12,500, for undergraduate study. The federal government pays the inter-
est while the student is in school. The student must begin repaying the pnncipal
of the loan plus interest shortly after the student drops below half-time enrollment.
Applications for the loan itself are available from local banks or the Education
Office of your state government. Additional information and necessary application
forms for first-time borrowers are available from the Financial Aid Office.
Parent Loans for
Undergraduate Students
Under the Parent Loan Program (PLUS), parents of dependent undergraduate
students may borrow up to $3,000 per year for each child enrolled in an approved
educational institution. These loans are also offered by banks and other financial
institutions, although terms and availability vary from state to state. Unlike the
Guaranteed Student Loans, the PLUS loans require parents to begin repayment
of the loan (with 12 percent interest) within 60 days of receiving the loan. Repay-
ment may be stretched out over ten years, as long as the minimum monthly
payment of $30 is maintained. Applications and more information can be ob-
tained from local lending institutions.
National Direct Student Loan , ^ *„or,^ioi

and graduate education. Repayment and interest on Direct Loans are not re-
quired until 6 months after a student graduates or withdraws from the institution.

rate at 5 percent per annum. Repayment may be deferred up to three years if the
student is pursuing at least a half-time course of study or serving in the Peace
Corps, VISTA, or the armed forces.

University Libraries
Alan R. Benenfeld, B.Met.E., M.L.S., M.S., Dean and Director
Together, the collections, services, staff, and facilities of the Northeast-
ern University Libraries provide access to information, and an under-
standing of the organization of the literature and other information
resources of the academic disciplines. In so doing, the Library is integral
to the academic and research processes, whether these occur in a
formal classroom, seminar, or laboratory setting or through individual
study and enrichment.
Libraries
The University Libraries include seven facilities of which Dodge, on the
Boston campus, is the main library. Dodge houses the materials that
support the University's programs in the humanities, social sciences,
fine arts, education, engineering, criminal justice, nursing, business, and
at the undergraduate level, in the sciences.
Also located on the Boston campus are three libraries which house
graduate-level collections in physics and electrical engineering, in math-
ematics and psychology, and in chemistry, biology, pharmacy, and allied
health. In addition, there are three libraries that support the academic
programs at the Burlington and Dedham campuses and at the Marine
Science Institute in Nahant.
The University is presently planning a new central library for the Bos-
ton campus. It will more than double the amount of space available to
house and use the library's collections and services and for study. This
new facility is being designed to incorporate the latest online, telecom-
munications and media technologies into all library services.
Collections
The total holdings of the University Libraries include the equivalent of
more than one million volumes in print and in microform, and current
subscriptions to approximately 4,000 periodical and newspaper titles.
The Library also collects other types of materials such as scores, tech-
nical reports, government documents, and audiovisual resources.
The collections are especially strong in the sciences, engineering,
business, criminal justice, and nursing. Among the many special series
available in microformat are important collections in anthropology, edu-
cation, government, history, literature, and business. In addition to a
large reference collection in Dodge, there are specialized reference
collections in each of the libranes.
Dodge Library is a federal depository and actively maintains over
250,000 documents, reports, and other publications made available
through the U.S. Government Pnnting Office. Strengths of the docu-
ments collection include Congressional hearings and reports, census
materials, and publications issued by the Departments of Commerce,
Justice, Health and Human Services, and Housing and Urban Develop-
ment.
Language and music listening laboratories are made available in the
Learning Resources Center. The Center provides a wide range of self-
paced media and computer-related resources including programmed
texts, filmstrips, audiotapes, videotapes, cassettes, recordings, and mi-
crocomputers.
Student Support Services and Resources / 297

housed in the Center for International Higher Education Documen-
tation (CIHED). The CIHED collection is unique to the Boston area.
The University Archives serves as a depository for the historical
records of the University. Faculty publications as well as student year-
books, newspapers, and Northeastern dissertations are also housed in
the Archives.
Services
Library staff are available in all service areas to assist students in both
retrieving and using the resources in the University Libraries. Computer
printouts located at various service areas may be consulted to determine
if a book is checked out, on order, on reserve, or in storage. The circu-
lation staff provide a search service for students who are unable to
locate a book on the shelf.
A series of publications are prepared by the library staff to acquaint
students with the collections in the University Libraries and to help stu-
dents with their research. These include short guides to types of re-
sources, such as encyclopedias and periodicals, to resources in
particular disciplines, such as economics and nursing, or in specific
subjects, such as science fiction and Caribbean music.
In each unit of the University Libraries, librarians provide reference
assistance. In addition, librarians provide instruction to groups and to
individuals on the bibliographic research process and on strategies for
locating and using library resources. Each quarter, a series of tutorials
is offered giving students further opportunities to meet with a librarian to
discuss particular or specialized research needs.
Peer tutoring in academic subjects, such as physics is coordinated
by the staff in the Learning Resources Center. Computer-assisted in-
struction and tutoring, particularly in the areas of chemistry and mathe-
matics, is available through the Center's Assessment Tutoring and
Enrichment Resources program. All tutoring services arranged through
the University Libraries are provided at no cost to the student.
Online retrieval of bibliographic citations using commercial databases
is provided, for a fee, through the Library's Computer Search Services.
Citations to information in the databases typically cover journal articles,
dissertations, technical reports, and symposia.
A variety of finding aids, such as union lists of serials, are available in
each library for consultation should needed materials not be in the col-
lections of the University Libraries. Assistance in using such aids is
available from staff; in addition, Interlibrary Loan staff may also conduct
a computenzed location search. Subject to certain conditions, Interli-
brary Loan staff may be able to borrow material from another library.
Boston Library Consortium
Northeastern University is a member of the Boston Library Consortium,
a cooperative arrangement among the following academic and research
institutions: Boston College, Boston Public Library, Boston University,
Brandeis, MIT, the State Library of Massachusetts, Tufts University, the
University of Massachusetts (Amherst, Boston, and Worcester cam-
puses), and Wellesley College. The University's membership in the Bos-
ton Library Consortium generally allows for on-site use by, but does not
grant borrowing privileges to, students at Northeastern. Some of the
Consortium libraries and many of the other libraries in the Boston area
require that a visiting student present a special pass or letter of introduc-
tion. A reference librarian can advise about such student visitor policies.

Freshman Orientation Programs
Except for the visits students will make to the Admissions Office, the first
opportunity to learn about Northeastern and to meet classmates, admin-
istrators, faculty members, and advisers will come during the freshman
orientation period.
The program for orientation is planned and supervised by the Director
of Orientation who will see to it that students are introduced to the cus-
toms and people that make up the University. At that time, registration,
class schedules, and other procedures and details necessary for enroll-
ment will be completed.
During the orientation period, in accordance with a long-standing tra-
dition, students will be welcomed by the President at a special convo-
cation. They also will be able to meet with deans and others who will
have important roles in their college careers.
Upperclass students generously volunteer their time to assist in set-
ting up and running programs that provide opportunities for relaxation,
recreation, and cultural enrichment. Members of the Dean of Students'
staff are available during the orientation period and throughout the year
to answer questions and provide assistance.
Office of Freshman Affairs
Anthony J. Bajdek, M.A., Associate Dean and Director
The Office of Freshman Affairs bears particular responsibility for moni-
toring and facilitating the academic progress of freshmen by providing
academic and personal counseling and appropriate administrative ac-
tion. Freshman Affairs applies academic policy, authorizes changes of
major (both within and between colleges), and prepares special course
schedules for students who change their majors, as well as for those
with advanced placement or advanced standing credit. In addition, the
Office of Freshman Affairs surveys the academic status of all freshmen.
The staff identifies freshmen with deficient academic records for aca-
demic probation, authorizes summer corrective work, and reenters eli-
gible students at the freshman level. Midway through each academic
quarter, a computer-based Interim Academic Status Report system, in-
volving progress reports prepared by instructors of freshmen, provides
detailed evaluations for use by students and the 180 faculty who serve
as their advisers. This evaluation is a preventive measure, designed to
help detect and correct potentially failing freshmen.
To support the academic progress of freshmen, the Office of Fresh-
man Affairs manages the freshman advisory system, and conducts ap-
propriate research to measure the success of specific academic
support activities.
When students complete the three academic quarters of the freshman
year, the Office of Freshman Affairs reviews their academic records to
determine eligibility for sophomore status.

Academic Computer Services
Robert J. Fitzpatrick, B.S., Acting Director
Over the past few years the use of computers in scientific, business, and
educational environments has been changing dramatically. First,
punched cards were widely replaced by interactive video terminals; then
personal computers vastly increased the number of people who have
access to, and routinely use, computers. Of late, these personal com-
puters have become more and more powerful at an ever decreasing
cost.
Academic Computer Services, located in the basement of Richards
Hall (telephone: 437-2334), supports the research activities of faculty,
research personnel, and graduate students, as well as teaching and
learning activities at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. The
computational capability of this facility includes 200 IBM personal com-
puters, linked in local area networks at the Boston, Burlington, and Ded-
ham campuses. A wide area network also provides both students and
faculty with time-sharing access to five large computers through video
and hard-copy terminals arranged in clusters at all three campuses. The
wide area network connects three Digital Equipment Corporation VAX-
11/780 systems in Richards Hall plus an additional VAX 11/785 and a
Data General MV/8000 in the Engineering Computer Center. This net-
work also provides access through a number of dial-in telephone lines,

Northeastern University is authorized under federal law to enroll non-
immigrant aliens as full-time students in degree-granting programs of its
basic undergraduate colleges and graduate schools. Part-time and spe-
cial students are not included in this authorization.
Because of problems of adjustment experienced by many students
from foreign countries, the University makes a special effort to carefully
evaluate the educational and financial qualifications of prospective stu-
dents. The University has an international student adviser and staff to
administer to the special needs of these students.
International students who have never attended an institution of higher
learning or who have already attended college or a university and want
to transfer to Northeastern should write to the Department of Undergrad-
uate Admissions for information and applications. Applicants who have
already received a degree or diploma from a university or college and
seek information concerning graduate schools at Northeastern should
write to the specific graduate school in which they are interested in
matriculating.
University admissions policies for international students are found on
page 243.
The University does not award financial aid to international students
at the undergraduate level.

English Language Center
Paul C. Krueger, C.A.G.S,, Director
The English Language Center provides an important resource for inter-
national students at Northeastern. Its goal is to ensure that students who
speak English as a second language are proficient enough to carry on
full-time studies in a degree program without language-related prob-
lems. The Center administers the Intensive English Program, which of-
fers three levels of intensive, noncredit courses in English as a second
language — beginning, intermediate, and advanced. Intensive English
classes are open to undergraduate and graduate students, as well as to
students who come to Northeastern to study English only. Those stu-
dents also admitted to a degree program in the University may take, with
the approval of the Director of the English Language Center, courses for
credit while studying Intensive English at the advanced level.
The Intensive English Program offers twenty hours of classroom in-
struction per week, as well as a number of special services. The weekly
program includes classes in English structure, reading, writing, listening,
and speaking skills, as well as small group tutorials, practice in a lan-
guage laboratory and in a writing laboratory, and help from a pronunci-
ation specialist as needed. English Language Center staff work closely
with staff from the International Student Office, other offices in Student
Affairs, the academic departments, and other University services.
In addition to serving students, the English Language Center provides
advice and consultation to the Northeastern community at large. Center
staff are available to answer questions from teachers, administrators,
and students and are able to design special programs for special needs
at short notice.
For more information about the English Language Center call
617-437-2455.
University Health Services
Lane Health Center
Job E. Fuchs, M.D., Director
A comprehensive program of medical care is provided to all full-time
registered students in the Basic Colleges, both graduate and under-
graduate. The University maintains a Health Services Clinic in the For-
syth Building, Room 135, which is open for emergencies at all times and
is equipped to deal promptly with any medical condition that may arise.
All entering students must submit a pre-entrance physical examination
form provided by the Lane Health Center prior to registration. Failure to
fulfill this requirement can delay registration and result in a penalty fee
and an additional fee for a physical examination. Regular clinic hours for
the student body are held by staff physicians from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30
p.m., Monday through Friday. Health Services can be reached at all
times by telephoning 617-437-2772.
Student Support Services and Resources / 305
Specialty clinics in surgery, orthopedic surgery, gynecology, and fer-
tility control and planning are scheduled at specified hours. Please
check times with the Health Services office. Pregnancy testing and ve-
nereal disease diagnosis and treatment services are always available
during clinic hours. Allergy testing and treatment for students with al-
lergic problems are done at the Lane Health Center at no cost except
for a nominal fee for the cost of the extracts. Allergic desensitization
injections using extract provided by the student's own physician will be
given at no cost provided the extract is received in good condition,
properly labeled, and with a dosage schedule. Consultation with the
various medical and surgical specialists who are not physically present
in the clinic will be arranged when deemed necessary by a Health Ser-
vices physician. The cost of the first visit will be borne by the Health
Services.
Special X-ray and laboratory procedures that are unavailable in the
Health Services but are deemed necessary- by a staff physician will be
provided. A full spectrum of mental health services is available. A mental
health specialist is present daily, and students are urged to use this
service even for minor emotional upsets.
All full-time graduate and undergraduate students are covered by a
special Blue Cross and Blue Shield policy, which remains in effect con-
tinuously from the day of initial registration until the first of the month
following withdrawal, dismissal, or graduation. Married students are
urged to go to the Finance Office (249 Richards Hall) to purchase sup-
plementary coverage for dependents.
An infirmary is also maintained in the Forsyth Building for the care of
students living in University dormitories and apartment houses. The re-
quired infirmary fee entitles students to twenty days' care in the infirmary
at no additional charge.
Students are urged to come to the clinic during regular clinic hours in
order to take advantage of all of our facilities.
Office of Services for the Handicapped
Ruth K. Bork, M.Ed., Director
Very often, the degree of physical accessibility and types of available
support services play an important part in a disabled student's selection
of a college. An examination of Northeastern University's campus map
shows the buildings to be located within relatively close proximity to one
another. Nearly all buildings have elevators that are open to use by all.
A special advantage at Northeastern is the existence of a tunnel system,
constructed prior to 1965, that links most buildings; in the harsh New
England winters and during inclement weather, this proves to be a wel-
come feature to all.
Any student who has a disability-related special need — no matter how
small or individual — can receive ready support services from the Office
of Services for the Handicapped (OSH). Frequently, students are uncer-
tain about how they may be aided by this office, and in these situations
a discussion of possible alternatives can be quite helpful. OSH provides
a wide range of support services to eliminate the competitive disadvan-
tages that a disability may create. Services are individually tailored to
meet the needs of each student.
306 / Student Support Services and Resources
If you have a disability, you are strongly urged to meet with the staff in
OSH early on in your consideration of Northeastern. Together, you can
discuss the types of service that would best meet your needs, and you
will have an opportunity to see the campus firsthand. If a visit is not
possible, contact the OSH Director by phone or by mail to avoid the
unnecessary delays and confusion that may arise with last-minute ad-
justments; telephone; 617-437-2675 (voice) or 617-437-2730 (TTY).
The following types of assistance are available from the Office of
Services for the Handicapped;
Orientation — Tailored to the needs of specific disability groups, orienta-
tion utilizes tactile maps for vision-impaired students, interpreters for
hearing-impaired students, and accessible routes of travel for mobility-
impaired students.
Registration and Preregistration — Assistance to help ensure class ac-
cessibility and course adaptation.
Counseling — Personal, academic, and referral services.
l-lousing — Necessary modification in residence halls.
For tlie Visually-Impaired Students— OSh assists in securing taped and
braille textbooks and materials; readers; campus orientation; tactile
maps; and auxiliary aids such as brailler, Visualtek reader, raised-line
drawing kits, large-print typewriter, talking-book machine, magnifiers,
talking calculators, variable-speed tape recorders, and Kurzweil Read-
ing Machine.
For the Hearing-Impaired Student— OSH offers services including oral
and sign language interpreters; note takers; TTY; audiometric testing,
hearing-aid evaluation, fitting, and orientation; instruction in sign lan-
guage and speech reading; speech therapy. Sign language interpreting
and oral interpreting services will be provided to deaf and hearing-
impaired students only after they have been denied such services by
their Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, provided the Office of Services
for the Handicapped has received information documenting the reason
for such denial.
For the Learning Disabled Student— OSH assists in securing taped text-
books and materials; readers; untimed testing; asistance in securing
course and program modification. Services will be provided only upon
receipt of diagnostic testing, documentation, and prescriptive write-ups.
Students without this material can be referred to appropriate agencies
for testing.
For the Wheelchair User/Mobility-Impaired Student— OSH offers infor-
mation on appropriate routes of travel, assistance in relocating classes,
adaptive physical education, and physical therapy.
General Assistance Services — Includes scribes; advocacy liaison with
instructors and other University staff; HP parking; corrective tutoring in
English writing, reading, and language problems; special examination
situations.
Information Clearinghouse— Oi^e^s articles, periodicals, books, and
other literature for, about, and by disabled individuals.
The Office of Services for the Handicapped is also the gathering place
for the Disabled Student Organization of Northeastern University, which
works cooperatively with OSH to plan programs and improve accessi-
bility of services for handicapped persons at Northeastern.

graduate students for full-time employment after graduation. A job bank
of currently available positions is maintained for seniors or alumni who
are seeking opportunities for which they miay be qualified. Credential
service is provided for students and alumni seeking positions in fields
that require them and for applicants to graduate and professional
schools. Regularly scheduled seminars are conducted for seniors and
alumni on career development, job-finding techniques, resume prepa-
ration, and effective interviewing. Individual career counseling is avail-
able for seniors and alumni of all University programs.
Office of Parents' Services
Virginia A. Stephanos, M.S.Ed., Director
The Office of Parents' Services provides a central counseling and re-
sources operation for parents of undergraduate and graduate students

Student Activities at Northeastern
The University regards student activities as an integral part of education
and provides for a range of activities to spark your interest and satisfy
your inclinations: you are given the opportunity to play intramural sports
on a wide variety of teams; write for the Northeastern News; broadcast
over WRBB, the student-operated radio station; act, dance, sing, play
music, or become involved with student government.
The University encourages relaxation and socializing: you can meet
new friends by joining any of the more than 150 campus clubs and
organizations, attend a lecture, a film, or a play, or go skiing or camping
in the mountains. Once you begin to take advantage of what is available
on campus, there's no telling what you will learn or whom you might
meet.
If you are a commuter student, it is likely that a good portion of your
between-class time will be spent in the Carl S. Ell Student Center. The
dominant feature of the main level of this "student building" is the mag-
nificent main lounge. Five stories in height, the lounge will comfortably
seat 800 students — a good place for quiet conversation or contempla-
tion. Below the lounge are a cafeteria and the Rathskeller, where the
sounds are much more audible. In addition, the Center has a ballroom,
a piano practice room, a large gameroom with billiards and table tennis
equipment, study rooms, a typing room, a computer room, and many
meeting and function rooms. The Information Booth staff can help with
any questions and also offers printing and photocopying services. The
Student Center is that part of Northeastern University where you can
relax and really feel comfortable and at home.
Each Monday and Thursday, the hours between 11:30 a.m. and 1:30
p.m. are reserved for student activities. No classes are held during these
times, to allow students an uninterrupted period of time for themselves.
Student clubs, intramural sports, cultural events, and many other activi-
ties are scheduled to provide opportunities to make spontaneous or
planned use of your time. You have the chance to become involved in
campus activities, whether you reside in the residence halls or are a
commuter, without interfering with your academic commitments.

New Horizons
This program, sponsored by the Student Activities Department, is de-
signed to provide enjoyment as well as the opportunity to engage in a
unique learning experience.
The New Horizons series of noncredit mini-courses is conducted by
qualified persons in special areas of interest. There are no grades, no
transcripts, and no examinations. In a few courses, textbooks are re-
quired; in areas such as the performing arts, field trips, crafts, or media,
a material fee may be required.
Enrollment in courses is determined on a priority basis with first op-
portunities for registration to full-time undergraduate and graduate stu-
dents, and on a space-available basis to other members of the
Northeastern community.

Sports
The University provides opportunities for participation in athletic pro-
grams that correspond to the abilities and inclinations of most students.
We especially wish to provide each of you with the chance to develop
skills and competence for lifelong athletic pursuits. Along with many
casual, drop-in opportunities, you can participate as a member of intra-
mural teams. Examples of intramural sports include touch football, bas-
ketball, volleyball, soccer, ice hockey, wrestling, softball, and track.
Professional Societies
Students will benefit in many ways by joining the student chapter of a
professional society in an area of study of particular interest to them.
They have the opportunity to keep up with the latest developments by
listening to authorities in that field, to exchange ideas with students from
other colleges and universities as well as from Northeastern, and to learn
more about professional standards.
If students take an active part by attending regular meetings and
social affairs, they may become officers or members of a delegation to
meetings outside the University. Such participation may prove invaluable
in shaping a career.
The following professional societies, the majority of which are national
organizations, are open to upperclassmen in their respective profes-
sional fields:
American Chemical Society
American Institute of Chemical Engineers
American Institute of Industrial Engineers
American Society of Civil Engineers
American Society of Mechanical Engineers
Engineers Council
Institute of Electronic & Electrical Engineers
Public Relations Student Society

i\/len's Athletics
Whether it be on the SuperTurf at Parsons Field in the fall, the ice or
hardwood of the Matthews Arena in the winter, or the waters of the
picturesque Charles River in the spring, a Northeastern athletic team is
a familiar sight, either training or competing, nearly twelve months of the
year in the Greater Boston area.
Husky varsity entries have touched down on some prestigious athletic
real estate, such as Henley-on-the-Thames, England; Madison Square
Garden, New York; and Fenway Park, which is part of Northeastern's
Back Bay neighborhood. In fact, one could include the Montreal Olympic
Village in the summer of 1976, and the most recent sumer Olympiad in
Los Angeles, when an alumnus oarsman stroked his way to a silver
medal for the United States.
All students are urged to participate in the University's athletic pro-
gram, which recently added soccer to its list of varsity sports. The Uni-
Student Activities/ 31 5
versity fields teams in baseball, crew, swimming, cross-country, track
and field, football, hockey, basketball, and golf. On the intramural and
club levels, students may also participate in such sports as sailing, water
polo, volleyball, lacrosse, gymnastics, softball, handball, and fencing.
Facilities include the spacious Cabot Physical Education Center, Ed-
ward S. Parsons Field, the Matthews Arena and the recently completed
outdoor track and field facility in Dedham. The Cabot Gymnasium con-
tains four basketball courts, a gymnastics lyceum, a wrestling and aero-
bics room, a cage for indoor track and soccer, and six modern
racquetball courts.
Parsons Field, home of the Huskies' football team, with its new
SuperTurf surface, also features the Northeastern baseball diamond.
The Dedham track has an eight lane, Action Trak 200 running surface,
and an expansive area for concurrent jumping and field events. The new
outdoor facility is ready to host dual and championship meet competi-
tion, and is a permanent site for Northeastern track athletes.
The hockey and basketball teams play their home games in the his-
toric "Boston Arena"— now the Matthews Arena, named for University
benefactors George and Hope M. Matthews. The Arena is located near
the main quadrangle of the campus. It provides a portable floor for the
Husky basketball team and daily free public skating.
Matthews Arena is the oldest ice hockey rink in the world, and features
a seating capacity of 6,000 and some of the finest sight lines of any rink
in the country. Within the past three years, both the men's basketball
and hockey teams surged to NCAA Championship play under the roof
of the Matthews Arena.
Northeastern annually fields one of the most competitive Division l-AA
football teams in New England, and as an Independent has always
played a demanding schedule. A partial list of the Huskies' most recent
opponents includes New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Lehigh, Rich-
mond, and Youngstown State.
The University's hockey team skates in the brand new Hockey East
Association, the eastern college hockey alignment which includes three
Boston based teams and a total of seven teams from New England.
Along with city rivals Boston College, Boston University, and Harvard,
the Huskies spend the first two Monday nights in February playing in the
prestigious Beanpot Hockey Tournament before a packed Boston Gar-
den house. In 1985 the Huskies became the first team to win back-to-
back Beanpots since 1979.
Northeastern's basketball Huskies wage their roundball wars in the
tough ECAC North Atlantic Conference of the NCAA. They play the local
powers such as Boston College and Boston University, and recent tour-
nament soirees have included games with national powers such as West
Texas State, Ohio State, and Montana. Even against the cream of the
East, Northeastern has had eighteen winning seasons in the last 22
years.
To discuss track and cross country in New England is to talk about
Northeastern track and cross country. The Huskies, who defended their
Greater Boston Championship last January, have been the flagship pro-
gram on the New England track and field scene for the last decade and
a half; in that stretch, the Huskies have captured seven New England
indoor titles and six outdoor championships. Each year. Northeastern is
represented by alumni running for national and international honors as
members of top track and field clubs.
Northeastern also fields a strong golf team which competes in all the
major Eastern tournaments.
31 6 /Student Activities
The most amazing Husky sports story, however, is that of varsity crew.
In 1965, its first season, the NU crew won four of five regattas and the
small college rowing championships, and became the first NU team to
compete internationally when it rowed in the Henley Royal Regatta. The
next year, the Huskies moved into the major college rowing league. They
culminated their swift rise by winning the Eastern Spnnts in 1972 and
1973 and rowed in the finals of the Grand Challenge Cup of the Henley
Royal Regatta, in 1973, they were considered the finest eight in the
country. In 1978, the freshman crew won the Eastern Sprints and was
invited to row the Thames Challenge Cup race at Henley.
Northeastern has buttressed its physical fitness facilities campus-wide
and accommodates the daily influx of undergraduates, graduates, staff,
and faculty at Cabot Gymnasium and the Matthews Arena. One of the
most popular accoutrements is the six-year-old Nautilus weight-training
room, equipped with Nautilus apparatus and traditional free weights.
Women's Athletics
From a very small program with very few resources, the Northeastern
University women's intercollegiate athletic program has grown rapidly,
reflecting the tremendous growth in women's athletics at all levels. The
program now encompasses twelve activities: basketball, crew, cross-
country, field hockey, gymnastics, ice hockey, lacrosse, swimming and
diving, tennis, track and field (indoor and outdoor), and volleyball.
As members of the NCAA, Northeastern University subscribes to all
policies and regulations of the Association. Athletic scholarships are
available to women student athletes in all programs.
Northeastern's goal is to provide an excellent program of intercolle-
giate athletics for all women students who qualify. The programs are in
the mainstream of the exciting growth in women's athletics throughout
the country.
The field hockey and lacrosse teams, using the astroturf at Edward S.
Parson's Field in Brookline as their home field, have long been regarded
as among the strongest in New England. The basketball and volleyball
programs, working out of Dockser Hall and Cabot Gymnasium on the
Boston campus, have appeared in state and regional championships,
and are moving rapidly toward NCAA qualification. The tennis team, with
recent steady improvement, is well respected in the region. The gym-
nastics team, with a vastly upgraded schedule, is striving to reach a
high level of regionally competitive scoring.
Two of our younger programs — crew, and swimming and diving —
have shown rapid improvement. Members of crew have been selected
for participation in Olympic Development Camps, have been gold medal
winners at the National Sports Festival and at the NWRA National Cham-
pionship.
The three newest teams— cross-country, ice hockey, and track and
field — have moved out of "rookie" status. The ice hockey team, which
makes its home in the beautifully renovated Matthews Arena, has be-
come one of the strongest in the country, in addition to winning the local
Beanpot Tournament in 1979, 1980, and 1984. Track continues its de-
velopment.
Moving toward excellence in all programs. Women's Athletics looks
forward to an exciting year. Specific policies and guidelines relating to
Student Activities/ 31 7
academic eligibility for athletics will be distributed in writing to all student
athletes.
Religious Life
Northeastern has genuine concern for the religious and moral develop-
ment of students of all faiths. A Religious Advisory Board, consisting of
administrators and faculty, as well as full-time guest chaplains, seeks to
articulate the needs in this area and facilitate the work of various reli-
gious groups on campus. A Chaplains' Association, consisting of the
full-time guest chaplains, works cooperatively to emphasize the interfaith
dimensions of campus life.
The chaplains also deal with students on a denominational basis at
various centers near the campus: Episcopal College Work Center in
Brookline; Hillel House on Parker Street; Lutheran Center, 84 The Fen-
way; and St. Ann's Roman Catholic Parish on St. Stephen Street. In
addition, there are numerous religious student organizations on campus,
recognized by the Student Affairs Committee and listed under "Student
Organizations."
Interfaith chapel services are held in the Bacon Memorial Chapel,
located in the Ell Student Center. These voluntary religious services are
planned to commemorate special days and events and will be an-
nounced sufficiently ahead of time. The Chapel is also used for denom-
inational worship services and special lectures on religion. It is open
daily for prayer and meditation and is a frequent setting for weddings of
students and alumni.

History
Founded in 1898, Northeastern University is incorporated as a privately
endowed nonsectarian institution of higher learning under the General
Laws of Massachusetts. By special enactment, the state legislature has
given the University general degree-granting powers. The University is
governed by a Board of Trustees who are elected by and from the
Northeastern University Corporation, which is composed of almost 200
distinguished business and professional men and women. The Board of
Overseers, chosen from the membership of the Corporation, based on
their exceptional interest in and support of the University, is also a partic-
ipant in the affairs of the institution.
From its beginning. Northeastern University's dominant purpose has
been the discovery of community educational needs and distinctive and
serviceable ways of meeting them. The University has not duplicated
the programs of other institutions, but has sought to pioneer new areas
of educational service.
A distinctive feature of Northeastern University is its Cooperative Plan
of Education, initiated by the College of Engineering in 1909 and sub-
sequently adopted by the Colleges of Business Administration (1922),
Arts and Sciences (1935), Education (1953), Pharmacy (1962), Nursing
(1964), Boston-Bouve College (1964), the College of Criminal Justice
(1967), the School of Engineering Technology's (formerly Lincoln Col-
lege) daytime Bachelor of Engineering Technology Program (1971), the
College of Computer Science (1982), and by University College in a
special pilot program (1980). This educational method offers students
the opportunity to gain valuable practical experience as an integral part
of their college programs and also provides the means by which they
may contribute substantially to the financing of their education. The plan
has been extended to the graduate level in criminal justice, engineering,
rehabilitation administration, professional accounting, business admin-
istration, and law.
In the field of adult education, the University offers graduate and un-
dergraduate degree programs and noncredit programs that are specif-
ically designed to meet the needs and interests of adults who wish to
further their education on a part-time basis.
All formal courses of study leading to degrees in the Graduate Divi-
sion, the School of Engineering Technology (formerly Lincoln College),
and University College are approved by the undergraduate faculties
concerned and are governed by the same qualitative and quantitative
standards as the regular day curricula. Courses are scheduled in the
day and evening at the Boston Campus, Suburban Campus in Burling-
ton, the Dedham Campus, and at other off-campus locations near Bos-
ton.
Academic Policy
Policy on Changes of Program
The University reserves the right to withdraw, modify, augment, or

It further reserves the right to change tuition, and fees charged, and
other regulations.
Any changes which may be made from time to time pursuant to the
above policy shall be applicable to all students in the school, college, or
department concerned, including former students who may re-enroll.

Northeastern University operates on a quarter-system calendar.
Quarter-Hour Credits
All courses are evaluated in terms of quarter-hour credit. A quarter-hour
credit is equal to three-fourths of a semester-hour credit.
Grades and Examinations
Examinations covering the work of the quarter usually are held at the
close of each quarter. Exceptions may be made in certain courses
where, in the opinion of the instructor and with the approval of the dean
of the college concerned, final examinations are not necessary.
Pass-Fail System
Students may register for a limited number of courses on a pass-fail
basis. Each college has its own rules governing this system. Common
to all colleges, however, is the grading system. Pass-fail grades are not
included in the calculation of the quality point average. Only pass
grades earn credits toward degree requirements. (Pass-fail guidelines
are also stated in the Student Handbook.)
Grades
A student's grade is officially recorded by letter. Introduced in Septem-
ber 1980, the following grades, listed below with their numerical equiv-
alents, are in effect:
A 4.000
A- 3.667
B-l- 3.333
B 3.000
B- 2.667
C+ 2.333
C 2.000
0- 1.667
D+ 1.333
D 1 .000
D- .667
F 0
A general average of C- is not acceptable and will not allow a student
to continue at Northeastern University.
Freshman students who are taking a full academic program and who
have a weighted average for the year below 1 .4 will not be permitted to
register for advanced work. Upperclass students should consult the
Student Handbook to ascertain the level of continuing achievement re-
quired of them by the faculty of their college.
An I, or X (Incomplete), grade is used to show that the student has not
completed the course requirements.
An official University grade report is mailed to each student at the end
of each quarter.
322 / General Information
Transcripts
Applications for transcripts of record are made at the Registrar's Office
(120 HA). A charge of $2.00 is made for each transcript request.
Writing Requirement
All Basic Day College freshmen must successfully complete an all-Uni-
versity writing requirement in order to fulfill their graduation require-
ments. The requirement also applies to all transfer students matriculating
at the University beginning in the Fall Quarter of 1985.
As a requirement for graduation with a bachelor's degree, each stu-
dent must successfully complete two quarters of basic composition and
literature (or equivalent) and satisfy the upper division writing require-
ment.
The upper division writing requirement may not begin until the student
has successfully completed at least eighty quarter-hours of academic
work (including transfer credit).
The upper division writing requirement may be fulfilled by passing one
upper division writing course (four quarter-hour course with a C or bet-
ter) or by passing a course, Writing Lab (one credit course). Upperclass
students should consult their advisor or the English Department for fur-
ther details on fulfillment of the writing requirement.
The Basic Day Colleges Course Description and Curriculum Guide
and The Student Handbook specify the details of the writing requirement
for both 1985 entering freshmen and transfer students.
Dean's List
An Honors or Dean's List is issued at the end of each quarter containing
the names of students who have a 3.0 quality-point average or higher,
with no "I" grade or grade below C-. A student who is on any form of
probation, enrolled in a course on a pass-fail basis (except where there
is no alternative or where required by the program), or not carrying a full
load as determined by his or her Basic College will not be eligible. With
few exceptions, as approved by the respective Colleges, a full load is
normally considered to be four courses or sixteen quarter-hours.
Dean's List Cum Laude 3.000-3.490
Dean's List Magna Cum Laude 3.500-3.740
Dean's List Summa Cum Laude 3.750-4.000
Beginning with the Class of 1990 and all future classes, the minimum
quality-point average to achieve Dean's List status will be 3.25.
Dean's List Cum Laude 3.250-3.490
Dean's List Magna Cum Laude 3.500-3.740
Dean's List Summa Cum Laude 3.750-4.000
Reports on Scholastic Standing
Reports for all students are issued at the end of each grading period.
Questions about grades are to be discussed with the student's faculty
adviser.
At the end of the academic year, juniors will receive, in addition to
their term reports, a complete cumulative copy of their permanent rec-
ords. Students should contact the dean of their college, if discrepancies
are found.
Students are constantly encouraged to maintain an acceptable quality
of college work. Parents and students are always welcomed by the
college officers and faculty advisers for a conference upon such mat-
ters.
Academic Policy / 323
Family Educational Rights and
Privacy Act
In accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of
1974, Northeastern University permits its students to inspect their rec-
ords wherever appropriate and to challenge specific parts of them when
they feel it necessary to do so. Specific details of the law as it applies to
Northeastern are printed in the Student Handbook, which is distributed
annually at registrations.
It is the policy of Northeastern University to deal with the student in all
academic and adminstrative matters. If parents require any information
regarding the progress of their son or daughter, they may contact the
Dean of Students' Office.
General Conduct
It is assumed that students come to the University for a serious purpose.
The University community expects each student to respect the rights
and privileges of others and to adhere to acceptable standards of per-
sonal conduct. Students should exercise their freedom with maturity and
responsibility. They are expected to obey University regulations and
follow the instructions of and pay due respect to University officials.
Conduct inconsistent with the general order of the University may result
in disciplinary action. Damage to any building or to any of the furniture,
apparatus, or other property of the University will be charged to students
involved.
Any form of academic dishonesty is regarded as a most serious of-
fense and renders the offender liable to disciplinary action. Aiding and
abetting a student in any dishonesty is also held to be a grave breach
of discipline.
The University administers discipline with a high standard of integrity
and a scrupulous regard for truth.
Attendance
Students are expected to attend all meetings of their classes. Absence
from regularly scheduled classes may seriously affect the standing of
the student and result in the University's dropping the subject or sub-
jects from his or her schedule. Laboratory work can be made up only
during hours of regularly scheduled instruction.
Emergency Closing of the
University
Northeastern University has made arrangements to notify students, fac-
ulty, and staff by radio when it becomes necessary to cancel classes
because of extremely inclement weather. AM radio stations WBZ (1030),
WEEI (590), WHDH (850), WRKO (680), and FM stations WBCN (104.1),
WZOU (94.5), WROR (98.5) are the stations authorized to announce the
University's decision to close. Since instructional television courses orig-
inate from live or broadcast facilities at the University, neither the classes
nor the courier service operate when the University is closed.
324
Policy on International Programs and
Services I
Northeastern University, a world leader in cooperative education, ac-
knowledges the increasing interdependence among nations, and, there-
fore, identifies its mission as preparing its graduates to live and work in
an interdependent world. The University deems it essential that its stu-
dents, both in the professions as well as in the humanities, develop a
greater awareness and understanding of those social, political and eco-
nomic issues that transcend national boundaries. So interconnected are
these issues that a recognition of them coupled with an appreciation of
the diverse cultures which gave rise to them is necessary for the devel-
opment of productive and responsible citizens of the world community.
To accomplish this goal. Northeastern University actively seeks quali-
fied students from abroad to enroll in its undergraduate and graduate
programs in such numbers and with such geographic origins so as to
create and foster a truly global exchange of ideas and values among
students, faculty, and staff.
The University also encourages all colleges to continually develop and
expand course offerings to include international issues and cross-cul-
tural aspects and supports faculty to teach and conduct research in the
interrelationships among nations and peoples. The University promotes
international understanding and the sharing of ideas with institutions
throughout the world by virtue of its faculty and staff exchanges and its
study and work abroad programs for students.
Finally, the University recognizes that it has a special responsibility to
share its expertise and to cooperate with international organizations, the
local community, its alumni, and diverse segments of the public in an
effort to promote greater awareness of global issues and events.
Alumni Association
More than 100,000 alumni are united within the Alumni Association, cre-
ated to establish a mutually beneficial relationship between Northeastern
and its graduates. The Association is governed by an Executive Com-
mittee elected from the alumni community. Membership in the Associa-
tion is automatic upon graduation.
The Association is headquartered in the Office of Alumni Relations in
125 Richards Hall; telephone 617-437-3186. Addresses of alumni are
maintained in the Office of Alumni Records; telephone 61 7-437-2792.
Activities of the Association include the Homecoming celebration,
presentation of the Outstanding Alumni Awards, and the annual pres-
entation of Professional Promise Awards to outstanding seniors in each
of the Colleges. Alumni officers, in conjunction with the Office of Alumni
Relations, have established a series of enrichment/education programs
to meet the contemporary vocational and avocational needs of North-
eastern's graduates. The Alumni Association has also initiated a suc-
cessful group travel program to provide the alumni of Northeastern with
interesting and economical opportunities for foreign travel, and sponsors
group term life insurance for members of the alumni community. Notice
of all activities is provided in the Northeastern Alumni Magazine and in
special publications.
General Information / 325
Regional alumni clubs have been established from coast to coast. All
alumni are eligible to become members of these organizations. The
clubs meet periodically with varied programs, often in conjunction with
professional and athletic events, faculty visits, and service projects. Ad-
ditionally, alumni class organizations conduct reunions for their respec-
tive classes every five years, and Golden Graduates' Day, for senior
alumni, has become an annual event.
The Association sponsors and assists constituent organizations that
focus on common professional and avocational interests and college
affiliations. These groups have their own officers and conduct various
programs throughout the year.
Regional alumni clubs provide a valuable service to the University by
sponsoring admissions conferences for high school students and the
parents of students who are interested in attending college. In addition,
alumni volunteers in many metropolitan areas across the nation repre-
sent the Admissions Office on a continuing basis at high schools and
community colleges.
Gifts and Bequests to Northeastern
University
Northeastern University welcomes gifts and bequests to further its edu-
cational purposes. It is recommended that those contemplating gifts or
bequests confer with the President of the University regarding the needs
of the University.
A member of Northeastern University's staff will be happy to consult
with those considering a gift or bequest. Planned gifts to the University
can often be combined with personal financial goals to produce maxi-
mum financial security, as well as significant tax savings for an individual
or family.
The legal name of the University is "Northeastern University." In mak-
ing a gift or bequest, it is recommended the following wording be used:
"Northeastern University, an educational institution incorporated under
the laws of Massachusetts and located in Boston, Massachusetts."
ROTC, IViilitary Officers Education Program
Army
Thomas J. Gnffin, III, LTC, U.S.A.; M.B.A., Professor and Chairman
General Objectives
The Department of Military Science administers Northeastern's ROTC
Program. Regarded by the University as an integral part of its education
program, ROTC is available on a voluntary basis to all full-time students.
The program's mission is to develop officers— leaders. It offers courses
of instruction designed to lead to a commission as an Army second
lieutenant.
The ROTC staff consists of active Army officers and NCOs, assigned
by the Department of the Army.
326 / General Information
Courses of Study
The program consists of the Basic Course (freshman and sophomore
years) and the Advanced Course (middler, junior, and senior years) and
complements the co-op program by tailoring the courses to the student's
schedule.
Enrollment in the Basic Course is voluntary and is open to all full-time
students who qualify. Students do not incur a military obligation by par-
ticipating in the Basic Course.
The Advanced Course is open to all qualified students who meet these
prerequisites: (1) completion of Basic Course or approved equivalent,
or prior honorable military service; (2) physical aptitude and medical
requirements; and (3) age requirements. Students accepted for the Ad-
vanced Course execute a written contract that obligates the newly com-
missioned second lieutenant to a period of military service. Advanced
Course students receive a $100/month stipend up to $1,000 per year.
They are also paid for the six-week advanced camp normally attended
between their junior and senior year.
ROTC Scholarships
The Army ROTC scholarship provides full tuition, fees, textbooks, and
$100 per month to the recipient. Selected four-year scholarship winners
may also qualify for full room-and-board during their freshman year.
Scholarships are available in varying lengths and cover the cadet's re-
maining academic years. Noncadets may apply for scholarships cover-
ing their last four or three academic years. These scholarships are merit-
based scholarships, and a student's earnings during cooperative work
periods do not reduce scholarship payments.
Veterans and Transfer Students
Honorably discharged veterans (enlisted) are a vital part of our cadet
corps and will receive special consideration for ROTC entry.
Transfer students, whether or not previously enrolled in ROTC, are
also welcome to join our program. They should contact the Department
of Military Science concerning their options for program entry.
Uniforms and Equipment
Uniforms are issued without cost to ROTC cadets. A $35 deposit is
required to ensure the return of the loaned property in good condition.
Loss or damage to Army equipment, exceeding the deposit, will be
charged to the student.
Academic Credits
Regulations of the individual Basic Colleges prevail for ROTC graduation
credit. However, students may individually petition their academic de-
partment for acceptance of certain courses for graduation credit.
Air Force
Thomas J. Meyer, Lt. Col., USAF; M.A.
Professor and Chairman, Department of Aerospace Studies, Boston Uni-
versity
The Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFROTC) program offers
students an opportunity to earn a commission in the United States Air
Force. The student is commissioned as a second lieutenant upon com-
General Information / 327
pletion of both the Aerospace Studies (AS) curriculum and the require-
ments for an undergraduate or graduate degree. Northeastern
University students may enter the AFROTC program as members of
either a four-year or a two-year program. Participation in AFROTC by
nonscholarship students during the first two years of the four-year pro-
gram carries no commitment to serve in the Air Force.
The AFROTC program is administered by AFROTC Detachment 355,
156 Bay State Road, at Boston University 617-353-4705, AFROTC
classes are conducted at the B.U. campus.
Four- Year Program
Undergraduates may join the four-year AFROTC program by registering
for the appropriate Aerospace Studies classes. Students from all aca-
demic disciplines, including five-year co-op, may register. Preferred en-
try is the first semester, freshman year, although students may enter as
late as the first semester, sophomore year.
Freshman classes focus on the functions, organizations, and hard-
ware of the Air Force. Sophomore classes concentrate on the history of
aerospace power. Complementing the academic classes is a weekly
leadership laboratory, during which students are introduced to Air Force
customs, courtesies, drill, ceremonies, and lifestyles.
The Air Force uniform and AFROTC books are provided to the student
free of charge except for a refundable uniform deposit.
Continuation beyond the sophomore year is not guaranteed. Factors
considered include leadership potential, academic performance, field
training evaluations, and results of a physical examination.
The non-flying commissioned graduate incurs a four-year active duty
service commitment. Navigators incur a five-year, post-training commit-
ment, and pilots incur a six-year, post-training commitment.
Two- Year Program
Students unable to participate in the four-year AFROTC program are
eligible for the two-year program. Prerequisites for entry into the two-
year program include: (1) at least six remaining academic quarters of
undergraduate or graduate study; {?.) meeting Air Force physical stan-
dards; (3) good moral character; and (4) successful completion of six
weeks of field training. Applications for the two-year program require
several months for processing. Prospective two-year program members
should contact the University AFROTC detachment at least six months
prior to proposed entry.
Scholarships
Academic scholarships are available for those who qualify. The College
Scholarship Program pays for tuition, textbooks, required fees, and a
$100-per-month, tax-free subsistence allowance. Most scholarships are
awarded for four years starting with the freshman year. Application is
made while the student is a senior in high school. Application forms
should be available in the guidance counselor's office or by writing to
the Four-Year Scholarship Branch, Air Force ROTO, Maxwell AFB, AL
36112. Scholarships are also available for students already in college.
Students may apply for a three-and-a-half, three, two-and-a-half, or two-
year scholarship. Call 617-353-4705 for further details.
328
Navy
Northeastern University has a crosstown Navy ROTC program. Both
scholarship and nonscholarship programs are available. For further in-
formation, please contact Dr. Thomas Moore, Room 202, Hayden Hall,
Northeastern University, 360 Huntington Avenue, Boston, MA 02115.
The Center for Cooperative Education
Paul E. Dube, M.A., M.Ed., Director
Educational institutions and other organizations that are interested in
exploring the concept of cooperative education, implementing new pro-
grams, or expanding and improving already existing ones can utilize the
services offered by the Center for Cooperative Education. In addition to
providing technical assistance, the Center will conduct evaluations of
cooperative education programs for both educational institutions and
employers.
The Center staff is made up of qualified professionals who are familiar
with all aspects of cooperative education. Throughout the year, short-
term training programs for both new and experienced coordinators of
cooperative programs are offered.
The Labor Market Analyst at the Center establishes a network of con-
tracts and generates information on employment changes affecting em-
ployers in business, high tech, and the health industries. The collected
data is analyzed and interpreted for use by the entire co-op department.
The Center, to help Northeastern better serve its international students
and the countries from which they originate, is currently working on a
project to develop home country placements for these students. Em-
ployment is being sought and international students recruited in those
regions of the world in which economies are strong enough to provide
at-home placements for the students during their cooperative education
employment periods.

Delivery of Services The University assumes no lia-
bility, and hereby expressly negates the same, for fail-
ure to provide or delay in providing educational or
related services or facilities or for any other failure or
delay in performance arising out of or due to causes
beyond the reasonable control of the University, which
causes include, without limitation, power failure, fire,
strikes by University employees or others, damage by
the elements, and acts of public authorities. The Uni-
versity will, however, exert reasonable efforts, when in
its judgment it is appropriate to do so, to provide com-
parable or substantially equivalent services, facilities,
or performance, but its inability or failure to do so shall
not subject it to liability.
The Northeastern University catalog contains current
information regarding the University calendar, admis-
sions, degree requirements, fees, and regulations, and
such information is not intended to be and should not
be relied upon as a statement of the University's con-
tractual undertakings.
Northeastern University reserves the nght in its sole
judgment to promulgate and change rules and regula-
tions and to make changes of any nature in its program,
calendar, admissions policies, procedures and stan-
dards, degree requirements, fees, and academic
schedule whenever it is deemed necessary or desir-
able, including, without limitation, changes in course
content, the rescheduling of classes, cancelling of
scheduled classes and other academic activities, and
requiring or affording alternatives for scheduled classes
or other academic activities, in any such case giving
such notice as is reasonably practicable under the cir-
cumstances.
Northeastern will do its best to make available to you
the finest education, the most stimulating atmosphere,
and the most congenial conditions it can provide. But
the quality and the rate of progress of your academic
career is in large measure dependent upon your own
abilities, commitment, and effort. This is equally true
with respect to professional advancement upon com-
pletion of the degree or program in which you are en-
rolled. The University cannot guarantee that you will
obtain or succeed at any particular job; that will depend
upon your own skills, achievement, presentation, and
other factors such as market conditions at that time.
Similarly, in many professions and occupations there
are increasing requirements imposed by federal and
state statutes and regulatory agencies for certification
or entry into a particular field. These may change during
the period of time when you are at Northeastern, and
they may vary from state to state and from country to
country. While the University stands ready to help you
find out about these requirements and changes, it is
your responsibility to initiate the inquiry because the
University has no other way of knowing what your ex-
pectations and understandings are.
In brief, the University is there to offer you educational
opportunities and to assist you in finding the direction
in which you want to steer your educational experience.
But you are a partner in this venture with an obligation
and responsibility to yourself.
Antidiscrimination Policy Northeastern University is
committed to a policy of equal opportunity to all stu-
dents and employees without regard to race, color, re-
ligion, sex, sexual preference, national origin, or
handicap or veteran status. The University prohibits dis-
crimination in all matters involving admission, registra-
tion, and all official relationships with students, including
evaluation of academic performance.
Equal Opportunity Employment Policy
Northeastern University is an equal opportunity em-
ployer. It is institutional policy that there shall be no
discrimination against any employee or applicant for
employment because of race, color, religion, sex, age,
national origin, or handicap or veteran status.
Northeastern also prohibits discrimination against any
employee regarding upgrading, demotion or transfer,
layoff or termination, rates of pay or other forms of com-
pensation, and selection for training. In addition, the
University adheres to Affirmative Action guidelines in all
recruitment endeavors.
Further, Northeastern will not condone any form of
sexual harassment, defined as the use of unwelcome
sexual advances, requests for favors, and other verbal
or physical conduct of a sexual nature as an explicit or
implicit condition of employment, as the basis for em-
ployment decisions, or when such conduct interferes
with an individual's work performance by creating an
intimidating, hostile, or offensive work environment.
Inquiries concerning our equal opportunity policies
may be referred to the University Title IX Coordinator/
Compliance Officer for Section 504 of the Rehabilitation
Act of 1973, Affirmative Action Office, 175 Richards
Hall, 617-437-2133.
Office of Services for the Handicapped The Office
of Senyices for the Handicapped (OSH) provides a va-
riety of support services and general assistance to all
of Northeastern's disabled students and employees.
The University's efforts to comply with the Rehabilitation
Act of 1973 are coordinated by Ruth Bork, OSH director,
5 Ell Center, 617-437-2675.
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
In accordance with the Family Educational Rights and
Privacy Act of 1974, Northeastern University permits its
students to inspect their records wherever appropriate
and to challenge specific parts of them when they feel
it necessary to do so. Specific details of the law as it
applies to Northeastern are printed in the Student Hand-
book and are distributed annually at registrations of the
University College and graduate schools.
Emergency Closing of the University
Northeastern University has made arrangements to no-
tify students, faculty, and staff by radio when it becomes
necessary to cancel classes because of extremely in-
clement weather. Radio stations WBZ, WEEI, WHDH,
WRKO, WBCN, WZOU, and WROR are authonzed to
announce school cancellations. Since ITFS-based in-
struction originates from live or broadcast facilities at
the University, neither the classes nor the courier ser-
vice operate when the University is closed.
Disclaimer Tuition rates, all fees, rules and regula-
tions, and courses and course content are subject to
revision by the President and the Board of Trustees at
any time.
Accreditation Northeastern University is accredited
by the New England Association of Schools and Col-
leges, Inc., which accredits schools and colleges in the
six New England states. Accreditation by the Associa-
tion indicates that the institution has been carefully eval-
uated and found to meet standards agreed upon by
qualified educators.

The University
Founded in 1898, Northeastern University is in-
corporated as a privately endowed nonsectarian
institution of higher learning under the General
Laws of Massachusetts. By special enactment,
the State Legislature has given the University
general degree-granting powers. The University
is governed by a Board of Trustees elected by
and from the Northeastern University Corporation,
a body of nearly 200 distinguished business and
professional men and women.
From its beginning. Northeastern University's
dominant purpose has been to identify commu-
nity educational needs and to meet these needs
in distinctive and serviceable ways. The Univer-
sity has not duplicated the programs of other
institutions, but has pioneered new areas of ed-
ucational service.
A distinctive feature of Northeastern University
is its cooperative plan of education, under which
students alternate periods of work and study. This
time-tested method of education offers students
the opportunity to gain valuable practical expe-
rience as an integral part of their college pro-
grams and to contribute to the financing of their
education. All Northeastern's undergraduate day
colleges operate on the cooperative plan, which
requires five years for the student to earn a de-
gree. The College of Arts and Sciences also offers
a four-year noncooperative option. Several of
Northeastern's graduate schools have structured
their programs to include the features of coop-
erative education.
In the field of adult education, programs of
study have been developed to meet a variety of
needs. University College offers evening
courses — offered by the University since 1906 —
and adult day courses leading to associate and
bachelor's degrees, as well as certificates. In ad-
dition to offering day undergraduate programs in
computer technology, and electrical engineering
and mechanical engineering technology, the
School of Engineering Technology offers evening/
part-time certificate, associate, and bachelor's
degree programs in technological areas. All for-
mal courses of study leading to degrees through
part-time programs are approved by the Basic
College faculties concerned and are governed
by the same qualitative and quantitative stan-
dards as the regular day curricula. Courses are
scheduled in the day and evening at Northeast-
ern's campuses in Boston, Burlington, and Ded-
ham. Evening courses are also scheduled in
Belmont, Brockton, Chelmsford, Framingham,
Lynnfield, Marlboro, Marshfield, Milford, Revere,
Westwood, and Weymouth.

Northeastern University has numerous distin-
guished faculty members, many of whom have
received prestigious awards, including Sloan
Scholarships, Guggenheim Fellowships, and Na-
tional Institutes of Health Research Awards. Fac-
ulty members lecture the world over — from just
across the Charles River in Cambridge to clear
across the Pacific Ocean in Sydney, Australia.
In addition, many faculty serve as United States
government consultants and participate on a va-
riety of national and international committees. But
because Northeastern considers education its
primary mission students will always find an en-
thusiastic and accessible faculty to answer ques-
tions, solve problems, and stimulate enquiring
minds.
Current research spans almost every academic
and professional field and is not limited to labo-
ratory investigations or the "hard" sciences. Every
department of every college at Northeastern car-
ries out some basic or applied research projects.
Research
Research, whether performed in the laboratory,
the library, or in the field, is vital to the University's
operation. It stimulates all participants and en-
sures a thriving academic atmosphere. Through
research, faculty members as well as students
stay abreast of the most recent developments in
their particular fields. Faculty who disseminate
this knowledge through publishing, speaking,
and teaching help ensure a university education
of the first order.
At Northeastern University, research and schol-
arly endeavors are taken very seriously and are
actively encouraged. Each year the faculty re-
ceive funding for an ever-increasing number of
research projects. Sponsorship comes from a va-
riety of sources. Federal agencies, private indus-
try and foundations, and the University itself all
contribute to Northeastern's growing research
emphasis.
While much of this research is carried out by
the faculty members, their graduate students, and
post-doctoral research associates, ample oppor-
tunities also exist for undergraduate students. Re-
search participation can take place as part of
regular academic programs, as specially de-
signed independent studies, or through cooper-
ative work assignments. Research activities are
encouraged and are limited only by the student's
own motivation and curiosity.
Buildings and Facilities
In 1910, Northeastern University began construc-
tion of the first piece of property acquired at its
present site on 360 Huntington Avenue. Since
those early days, the central Boston campus has
grown to occupy over fifty acres of land located
in close proximity to such cultural landmarks as
Symphony Hall, the Museum of Fine Arts, the
Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Horticultural
Hall, and the Boston Public Library. The University
is within walking distance of the Fenway, a large
park that includes a beautiful rose garden and
extensive jogging paths. Copley Place, the Back
Bay shopping district, and a number of renowned
hospitals, including Brigham and Harvard teach-
ing hospitals, are also minutes away.
Major transportation facilities serving the Bos-
ton area are Logan International Airport, two rail
terminals, bus terminals serving inter- and intra-
state lines, and MBTA subway-bus service within
the metropolitan-suburban area. There is a sub-
way stop directly in front of the campus. For mo-
torists coming from the west, the best routes to
the campus are the Massachusetts Turnpike (Exit
22) and Route 9, of which Huntington Avenue is
the intown section. From the north, motorists may
take Routes 93 or 95 to the Southeast Expressway
(Route 3) to Massachusetts Avenue, which inter-
sects Huntington Avenue. Visitors driving from the
south should take the Southeast Expressway and
the Massachusetts Avenue exit.
The Boston campus is divided by Huntington
Avenue, with academic and administrative build-
ings on one side and most dormitories on the
other. Many of the educational buildings are in-
terconnected by underground passageways,
which are especially convenient during inclement
weather.

Burlington Suburban Campus
Northeastern University's Burlington campus was
established in 1964 because businesses and in-
dustries in the Route 128 area expressed a need
for educational programs that their employees
could utilize. The campus is located near the
junction of Routes 128 and 3 in Burlington, Mas-
sachusetts.
Programs offered at Burlington encompass un-
dergraduate, graduate, and continuing education
courses. Full- and part-time degree programs, as
well as nondegree certificate programs, are avail-
able.
Dedham Campus
The 20-acre Dedham campus is located on Route
135 just north of Route 128. The facility contains
several classrooms, two executive amphitheaters,
a dining area, a computer terminal room tied to
several of the University's mainframe computers,
a new IBM-PC microcomputer laboratory, and a
library. It also houses several University depart-
ments, including University College's Center for
Continuing Education, the state-of-the-art engi-
neering program, and areas for the executive
MBA, high technology MBA, and management
workshop programs. A more recent development
at the campus was the construction of an im-
pressive outdoor track and field facility.
Henderson House
The University's conference center, Henderson
House, is located in Weston, Massachusetts, 12
miles from the Boston campus. Henderson House
provides a gracious setting for both large and
small conferences and meetings, and its facilities
include a dining service and some overnight ac-
commodatiorTs. For more information about Hen-
derson House, call 617-329-8000, ext. 13.
Warren Center
The Warren Center is located on 165 acres in
Ashland, Massachusetts, 30 miles west of Boston.
Although it serves as a practical laboratory for
students in Boston-Bouve College of Human De-
velopment Professions, the Warren Center invites
Northeastern's staff, faculty, alumni, and students
to use its facilities and welcomes other educa-
tional groups seeking enrichment in an outdoor
setting. Woods, fields, streams, winterized cot-
tages, and Hayden Lodge provide year-round
opportunities for outdoor learning. The Center
also has an archery range, an outdoor pavilion,
heated cabins, a health lodge, and conference
accommodations.
Marine Science and Maritime Studies Center
The Marine Science and Maritime Studies Center,
located in Nafiant, Massachusetts, is a research
and instructional facility primarily engaged in the
study of marine biology and oceanography. Many
of the courses at the Institute are applicable to-
ward an advanced degree in biology or health
science. The Institute, located about 20 miles
northeast of Boston, is in operation all year.
The George and Hope Matthews Arena
Two blocks and a right turn from the main quad-
rangle of Northeastern University's Boston cam-
pus is the oldest indoor ice hockey arena in the
United States and one of the focal points for am-
ateur athletics in the Boston area. The building is
used primarily for collegiate sports, especially
men's and women's basketball and hockey con-
tests, and for recreational activities. Northeastern
also makes the Arena available to the community
for certain events.

Network Northeastern University (NNU)
Network Northeastern University represents the
University's entry into the age of education by
telecommunications. The Network's main mode
of operation utilizes the microwave-based In-
structional Television Fixed Service (ITFS) system
whereby educational services are delivered di-
rectly to company sites and other remote loca-
tions within a 30-mile radius of Northeastern's
Boston campus. With this service, live classroom
instruction is telecast in color to remote sites,
where it is viewed in reception rooms equipped
with tv monitors and a telephone-based talkback
system. During presentations, off-campus stu-
dents are able to participate in the instruction as
fully as students on campus. A courier service
collects and delivers homework assignments and
serves as the off-campus student's link to the
bookstore, registrar, and other campus services.
Network Northeastern University currently of-
fers engineering technology courses and gradu-
ate courses in engineering. These offerings will
be expanded in the near future to include courses
in state-of-the-art engineering topics, manage-
ment, mathematics, technical writing, and com-
puter science. It also provides television
production services and duplication and distri-
bution services for videotaped courses.

Academic Policies
Admission and Registration
Open Admission University College has an
open admission policy that allows students to en-
roll in most courses simply by registering for the
course. It is not necessary to submit a formal
application for admission, nor are entrance ex-
aminations or College Board Examination scores
required.
The open admission. policy applies equally to
nondegree and undergraduate degree students
at University College. Many students enroll in
courses at the College for personal enrichment
or to gain specific career-related skills. Credits
earned for these courses may be applied to a
degree program. In some cases, nondegree stu-
dents already have an undergraduate degree
and are interested in specific courses for their
continuing education. Nondegree students are
considered members of the University College
community and are entitled to the student support
services offered by the College. Students who
decide to pursue a degree program at University
College will eventually need to declare a major.
See page 17 for further information. Special re-
quirements apply to students entering the Bach-
elor of Science in Business Administration degree
program. For detailed information about the ad-
missions process for this program, please see
pages 42-43.
Registration Students may register for courses
by reporting to any of the College's 14 campuses
during the registration periods that are scheduled
each quarter. It is not necessary to register at the
campus where a particular course actually meets;
students may register at any campus for a course
scheduled at any other campus. All students must
complete a registration form before attending
class; attendance at class, even with the instruc-
tor's permission, does not constitute registration.
No academic credit will be awarded to students
who are not properly registered. See the Aca-
demic Calendar on pages vi-viii for a complete
registration schedule.
Not all the courses listed in this Bulletin are
offered each quarter. A complete list of the
courses offered in any particular quarter is con-
tained in the University College Schedule Guide
for that quarter. A Schedule Guide is distributed
for the fall, winter, spnng, and summer quarters
at all campuses or by mail upon request (tele-
phone 617-437-2400).
Quarter-Hour Credit Northeastern University
operates on a quarter-hour credit system. A quar-
ter-hour credit is the equivalent of three-quarters
of a semester hour. Students who wish to take
courses at Northeastern and to transfer these
credits to another school are urged to receive
permission from their adviser prior to registering.
Help with Course Selection Academic advis-
ers (see page 25) are available at all campuses
throughout the year by appointment to help stu-
dents plan their academic programs and select
courses. Students who have earned credits from
other schools are urged to have their transcripts
evaluated prior to the registration period to avoid
duplicating course work completed at other ed-
ucational institutions. Advisers are also available
without an appointment to answer general ques-
tions during the official registration periods at all
campuses.
Before registering for a course, students should
read the course description in this Bulletin to de-
termine if it is necessary to have taken a prereq-
uisite course. In order to ensure academic
success, students are strongly advised to adhere
to course prerequisites.
Placement Tests Students registering for math-
ematics courses offered by Lincoln College must
take a mathematics placement test given during
registration. Students registering for Mathematics
1 (MTH 41 10) must take a placement test on the
first night of class. Some students may be re-
quested to register for Basic Mathematics 1 (MTH
4001), a three-quarter-hour course offering ad-
ditional preparation in math. Students registering
Academic Policies 17
for College Algebra 1 (MTH 4107), however, must
have taken the placement test during registration
to be admitted to class. Students who have taken
Introductory Mathematics courses MTH 4081 and
MTH 4082, or MTH 4001 and MTH 4002, must
have evidence of successful completion to reg-
ister.
Students enrolling in ENG 4110 Critical Writing
1 . ENG 4380 Business Writing and Reports 1 , and
TCC 4101 Technical Writing 1 will be asked to
complete a brief writing sample at their first class
meeting. Based on this sample, their instructor
may refer them to a more basic course in English
composition, such as ENG 401 1 Elements of Writ-
ing or ENG 4005 English for International Stu-
dents 1.
International Students Northeastern University
is authorized under federal law to enroll nonim-
migrant alien students. For information regarding
eligibility to enroll in University College, come to
102 Churchill Hall, 617-437-2400, or visit the In-
ternational Student Office in 270 Holmes Hall,
telephone 617-437-2310.
Maximum Course Load New students may
elect up to 12 quarter hours per quarter without
special permission from the appropriate Program
Director. Former students who are not on the
Dean's List may also elect up to 12 quarter hours
per quarter without special permission. Students
who are on the Dean's List may elect a maximum
of 18 quarter hours per quarter without special
permission.
Class Changes University College reserves the
right to cancel, divide, or combine classes when
necessary. While this policy ensures that students
will almost never be excluded from a class be-
cause it is oversubscribed, it also means that a
course may occasionally be canceled because
of inadequate enrollments. Cancellations are
more likely to occur among upper-level or ad-
vanced courses than among introductory
courses. To avoid course cancellations, students
are urged to register early.
Pass/Fall Courses Students may register for
one elective course per quarter on a pass/fail
basis. To be eligible for pass/fail status in a
course, the student must be in good academic
standing (not on academic probation) and must
have completed 39 quarter hours of academic
work. Thereafter, the student may register for one
pass/fail course for each 15 quarter hours of suc-
cessfully completed work. The student must also
meet all prerequisites for the courses.
To be graded on the basis of pass/fail, the
student must obtain a Pass/Fail Permission Card
signed by the Program Director for his or her
program of study. This card must then be brought
to the instructor of the course. In addition, the
Registrar must be notified in writing by the student
of the student's intention to take the course on a
pass/fail basis prior to the fourth meeting of the
course.
Auditing Policy Students are permitted to audit
courses, but they must complete the usual reg-
istration forms and pay regular tuition fees. There
is no reduction in fees for auditing. An auditor
may participate in class discussion, complete pa-
pers and projects, and take tests and examina-
tions for informal evaluation. However, regardless
of the amount or quality of work completed, no
academic credit will be granted at any time for
audited courses.
The student's decision to audit a course must
be communicated in writing to the Registrar prior
to the fourth meeting of the course. No exception
to this procedure can be approved without au-
thorization by the Academic Standing Committee
of the College.
Withdrawal Policy A student who wishes to
withdraw from a course must complete a Course
Drop form in the Registrar's Office or notify the
Registrar in writing of his or her intention to with-
draw prior to the week in which final examinations
are given. The forms are available at all campus
locations. If, after the first class meeting, a student
misses three consecutive class meetings of a
course, he or she will automatically be withdrawn
from the course by the Registrar.
Students who withdraw or are withdrawn from
a course will have no record of the withdrawal on
their transcripts. (See page 28 for information on
tuition refunds.)
Degree Candidacy Admission
Students who wish to be admitted to University
College as a degree candidate must follow one
of the following procedures.
18 Academic Policies
Open Admissions Procedure Under this pro-
cedure, students must complete the following re-
quirements:
1. Complete at least 18 quarter hours of credit,
including English courses ENG 4101, ENG
4102, ENG 4103.
2. A minimum grade point average of at least 2.0
(C) at University College.
3. High school graduation or a high school equiv-
alency certificate (GED).
Students who meet these requirements must
file a Petition for Admission in the Office of Aca-
demic and Student Affairs or at any branch cam-
pus. Admission petitions may also be submitted
by mail. Please call 617-437-2400. Students will
then be notified by mail of their acceptance.
Transfer students who meet the above require-
ments may petition for admission as soon as all
of their transfer credits have been evaluated.
Note: Students who wish to be admitted to the
Bachelor of Science in Business Administration
program must meet additional requirements, as
listed on page 41.
Regular Admissions Procedure Under this
procedure, students must follow the following
steps:
1. Complete an application for admission. Appli-
cations are available in the Office of Academic
and Student Affairs and at all branch campus
locations. The deadlines for receipt of these
applications are:
Fall quarter - September 9, 1985
Winter quarter - December 16, 1985
Spring quarter - March 17, 1986
Summer quarter - June 2, 1986
2. Submit the completed application for admis-
sion and a copy of high school transcript or
GED certificate to the Office of Academic and
Student Affairs.
3. Arrange an admissions appointment with an
academic adviser. Day, evening, or branch-
campus appointments may be arranged by
calling 617-437-2400.
Students with less than 18 quarter hours of
transfer credit (including the required English
courses) who wish to be immediately eligible to
apply for financial aid must follow the regular ad-
missions procedure.
Declaring a Major Students who have been
admitted to University College may declare a ma-
jor by completing a General Petition. General Pe-
titions are available at all campus locations.
Students who wish to have a General Petition
mailed to them should call (617) 437-2400.
Graduation Requirements
Except for certain health professions programs,
the requirement for graduation from University
College is 174 quarter hours for a bachelor's de-
gree and 96 quarter hours for an associate's de-
gree, with attainment of a quality point average
of 2.0 (an average grade of C). Although the
credits allowed for acceptable work completed
elsewhere by transfer students count toward ful-
fillment of quantitative graduation requirements,
neither the credits nor the grades earned in such
courses are included in the quality point com-
putations for graduation. Course requirements for
each degree are different and are outlined in this
Bulletin.
Course Substitutions and Waivers Students
may request to have a required course in an
academic program waived and to substitute an-
other course in place of the required course. Such
requests are not encouraged, although the Uni-
versity recognizes that students may occasionally
have very good reasons for requesting such waiv-
ers. To request that a required course be waived,
students must complete a Petition for Course
Substitutions and Waivers and submit the petition
to the Office of Academic and Student Affairs.
Course petition forms are available in 102
Churchill Hall and at all branch campus locations.
All petitions for course substitutions and waivers
are routinely forwarded to the Director of the ac-
ademic program in which the student is enrolled.
The Program Director in turn makes a recommen-
dation concerning the request for the waiver to
the University College Committee on Academic
Standing. All required course substitutions and
waivers of program requirements must be ap-
proved by the Committee on Academic Standing.
Graduation with Honor Bachelor's degree
candidates who have achieved distinctly superior
attainment in their academic work will be gradu-
ated with honor, high honor, or with highest honor,
depending on the final quality point average ob-
tained. To be considered for graduation with
honor, a student must have completed a minimum
of 72 quarter hours of work at University College.
Courses transferred from other educational insti-
Academic Policies 19
tutions will not be considered in determining
honor graduates.
Residence Requirement Every candidate for
the bachelor's or associate's degree must fulfill
the minimum residence requirement. The resi-
dence requirement is defined as the satisfactory
completion of at least 45 quarter hours of course
work in University College immediately preceding
graduation. At least 12 of the 45 quarter hours
must be in the candidate's major field of study.
Since the University College residence require-
ment prescribes the completion of at least 45
quarter hours of credit in residence immediately
preceding graduation, a student who intends to
graduate in any academic year may not use
courses at any other institution for the purpose of
transferring credit.
A student whose enrollment in a degree pro-
gram is interrupted for a period of one year or
more will be reinstated in the program at the time
of re-entry into University College.
in Absentia Status If a student moves beyond
a reasonable commuting distance from University
College or its branch campuses but has com-
pleted 135 or more quarter hours of credit (in-
cluding a maximum of 60 quarter hours of transfer
credit), the Committee on Academic Standing will
consider a petition to allow the student to com-
plete his or her requirements for a University Col-
lege degree at another approved college. The
courses remaining must be completed within two
years from the date of official approval of the
student's in absentia status.
Senior Status Procedure All potential gradu-
ates will be polled during the fall quarter to de-
termine their intention to graduate during the
current academic year. To be considered for
graduation in June, a student must return a Com-
mencement Data Card prior to the start of the
winter quarter of the academic year in which he
or she expects to graduate. September gradu-
ates will be polled during the month of June.
Throughout the academic year, the Office of
Academic and Student Affairs issues Senior Sta-
tus Reports on request to potential graduates in
order to assist them with the selection of courses
required for program completion. Seniors are en-
couraged to request a Senior Status Report dur-
ing the summer prior to the academic year in
which they plan to graduate. Petition forms for
status reports are available in 102 Churchill Hall
on the Boston campus and at the main office of
each branch campus.
Credit by Examination During ttie Senior Year
CLEP or PEP examinations (see below) may be
taken by students during their final year of study
provided they have met the 45-quarter-hour res-
idence requirement for graduation (this page).
Because of the time required for CLEP and PEP
exams to be graded and scores returned to the
University, students requesting June graduation
must take their CLEP and PEP exams no later
than the winter quarter of their senior year.
Transfer Credit Policy
Transfer Credit from Another Institution Stu-
dents may transfer credit from accredited insti-
tutions of higher education when courses
completed are applicable to the student's pro-
gram in University College. The minimum course
grade acceptable for transfer credit is C, or 2.0
on a four-point scale. An accredited institution of
higher education is an institution having recog-
nition and membership in one of the six regional
accrediting associations recognized by the
Council on Post-secondary Accreditation.
Transfer Credit Procedure A student who
wishes to obtain a tentative evaluation of credits
earned from another institution must file a Transfer
Credit Petition with the Office of Academic and
Student Affairs. The student must then write to the
registrar of the institution previously attended and
request that an official transcript (one bearing that
institution's seal) be fonwarded to the Office of
Academic and Student Affairs, 102 Churchill Hall,
Northeastern University, 360 Huntington Avenue,
Boston, MA 02115. The transcripts should indi-
cate courses completed, credits, and grades
earned. Upon receipt of official transcripts, the
Office of Academic and Student Affairs will issue
a tentative evaluation of all credits as they apply
to the student's program in University College.
Official awarding of credit will be recorded on the
student's University College transcript when ad-
mission is approved.
Validation of Required Upper-Level Business
Courses for Transfer Credit Students entering
the Bachelor of Science in Business Administra-
tion degree program may be required to validate
required upper-level business courses that they
have taken outside the framework of the program.
"Validation" is the set of procedures that tests
whether an upper-level course completed at the
lower division of a baccalaureate program should
be accepted for transfer credit in the upper divi-
sion of a baccalaureate program recognized and
20 Academic Policies
approved by the American Assembly of Colle-
giate Schools of Business. The Bachelor of Sci-
ence in Business Administration program offered
by University College conforms with all standards
established by the American Assembly of Colle-
giate Schools of Business (AACSB). AACSB has
been recognized by the Council for Post-second-
ary Accreditation and by the United States Office
of Education as the sole accrediting organization
for university baccalaureate and master's degree
programs in business administration.
The rationale for validation is based on the dis-
tinction between lower-level and upper-level
courses. The content and focus of most upper-
level courses presupposes a certain amount of
prior academic work and general knowledge.
Often, students who complete an upper-level
course without first having been exposed to the
bodies of knowledge presupposed by that course
are unable to benefit fully from the upper-level
course and therefore fail to develop as much as
they should in their understanding of the subject
matter. In recognition of this problem, University
College has adopted specific validation proce-
dures. Their purpose is to ensure that the knowl-
edge a student has acquired in an upper-level
business course completed at the lower division
closely approximates in focus and content the
knowledge that University College feels is ac-
ceptable for a particular upper-level course in a
specific area of study.
Generally, students will be able to validate pre-
viously earned course credits by taking a se-
quential course in a reserved section, a
department-approved examination, or a CLEP
(College Level Examination Program) or PEP
(Proficiency Examination Program) examination.
For further information about course validation,
please see page 40. Students should also talk
with a University College academic adviser for
further information about the validation of upper-
level business courses for transfer credit.

dentials Students requesting an evaluation of
international educational credentials for transfer
credit in University College will be assessed a fee
of $30. The evaluation will be issued by the Office
of Academic and Student Affairs upon receipt of
a Transfer Credit Petition, a completed Educa-
tional Chronology Form, official copies of all tran-
scripts translated into English, and a check in the
amount of $30, payable to Northeastern Univer-
sity. The official assessment of international edu-
cational credentials will be made in accordance
with current standards for awarding advanced
standing credit at University College or as rec-
ommended by the Center for International Higher
Education Documentation. The $30 fee will be
waived for any University College student who
has enrolled in a degree program pnor to re-
questing the evaluation.
Course(s) at Another College or University A
student who is enrolled in a degree program at
University College and who wishes to complete
one or more courses at another institution for
transfer purposes must first file a petition to enroll
in such courses with the Office of Academic and
Student Affairs. Courses taken at other institutions
may be disallowed unless a petition has been
submitted and approved. Seniors (students in
their final year of study at University College)
should refer to information about the residence
requirement (see page 19 for further clarification
of this policy).
Credit by Examination University College will
award credit by examination provided the ex-
amination does not represent a duplication of
other previously earned academic credit. Credit
is granted for successful completion of exami-
nations currently available through the College
Level Examination Program (CLEP) of the College
Entrance Examination Board and through the Pro-
ficiency Examination Program (PEP) of the Amer-
ican College Testing Program. Both programs
have been designed to assist students in acquir-
ing college-level credit for knowledge acquired
through nontraditional means, such as on-the-job
training, educational television, correspondence
and extension study, and independent study. In-
formation about these programs is available in
the Office of Academic and Student Affairs at
University College and at the Northeastern Uni-
versity Counseling and Testing Center.
Modern Language Proficiency Examination
Students may be eligible to receive credit for pro-
ficiency in a modern language. Examinations are
currently offered in French, Spanish, German,
and Italian. Students should contact the Modern
Language Department, 360 Holmes Building,
617-437-2234, for information concerning these
examinations.
Noncollegiate Experience Credit Law enforce-
ment students may be granted up to 18 hours of
credit in their program by successfully complet-
ing one or more of the noncollegiate credit ex-
aminations that have been made available
Academic Policies 21
through their program director's office. Examina-
tions are periodically scheduled by the Counsel-
ing and Testing Center.
Some liberal arts students may petition for non-
collegiate experience credit. See page 91 (law
enforcement) and page 108 (liberal arts) for more
details on opportunities for noncollegiate experi-
ence credit.
Noncollegiate experience credit is not available
to business students, except as available through
CLEP or PEP examinations. (See "Credit by Ex-
amination," page 20.)
Credit cannot be awarded through noncolle-
giate experience petitions or examinations when
an appropriate examination is available through
CLEP or PEP.
Credit for Extrainstitutional Learning Extra
institutional learning is that which takes place out-
side the sponsorship of legally authorized and
accredited postsecondary educational institu-
tions. The term applies to learning acquired from
formal courses sponsored by associations, gov-
ernments, business, and industry.
In awarding credit for extrainstitutional learning.
University College utilizes the National Guide to
Credit Recommendations for Noncollegiate
Courses, published annually by the American
Council on Education.
Students applying for credit for extrainstitu-
tional learning must submit a Transfer Credit Pe-
tition and provide official credentials from the
sponsoring noneducational organization to the
Office of Academic and Student Affairs at Uni-
versity College. The credit may be applied toward
degree requirements at University College if rec-
ommended in the National Guide, provided credit
is not otherwise obtainable through CLEP, PEP,
or noncollegiate experience credit programs at
University College.
Grading System
A student's work in each course is evaluated by
the instructor, who awards a letter grade at the
end of the quarter. This grade is officially re-
corded by the Registrar's Office. The grades and
symbols used are given below, together with the
numerical equivalents used for computing quality
point averages:
A

Grade Reports and Transcripts All efforts will
be made to mail grades prior to the beginning of
the following quarter. A supplementary grade re-
port will be issued when a missing grade or a
grade change is received. University regulations
prohibit issuing grades by telephone. Grade re-
ports of degree candidates indicate both their
quarterly quality point average and their cumu-
lative quality point average.
Students may obtain a transcript of their grades
by making a request in writing to the Registrar's
Office, 120 Hayden Hall, Northeastern University,
360 Huntington Avenue, Boston, MA 02115. Un-
22 Academic Policies
official transcripts are issued free of charge; of-
ficial transcripts that bear the University seal cost
$2.
Quality Point Average The method of figuring
the quality point average is as follows: the nu-
merical equivalent of each grade received is mul-
tiplied by the credit hours earned; the quality
points are added together, then divided by the
student's total quarter hours. An example follows:

Hours (15)
Pass/Fail grades (S, U, and X), Incompletes (I),
and Audits (L) are not included in the quality point
average. Similarly, transfer credits are not in-
cluded in quality point averages. The total earned
hours appearing on the student's transcript, how-
ever, include both transfer credits and S grades.
A cumulative grade point average below 2.0 is
unacceptable and will not allow a student to con-
tinue in University College or to receive a degree
from Northeastern University. The F grade is a
failure and requires repetition of the course in its
entirety.
Academic Monitoring Degree candidates with
45 quarter hours of credit will be monitored quar-
terly. Those whose QPAs fall below 2.0 will be
contacted and offered all possible assistance by
the Office of Academic and Student Affairs. They
will continue to be monitored until their QPA is 2.0
or better. Students who feel they would benefit
from academic assistance are encouraged to call
the Qffice at 61 7-437-2400 to arrange an appoint-
ment.
The I Grade The I grade, or Incomplete, may
be given only when the student fails to take the
final examination for a course. An instructor may
decide that a student has done so poorly in the
course that even a perfect grade in a make-up
final examination could not raise the grade from
F; in this case F is the proper grade, regardless
of the missed final examination.
If the student fails to complete some other ma-
jor portion of the course work (examination,
quizzes, major paper, etc.) a letter grade is as-
signed. This grade can be changed when the
deficiency that led to the assigned letter grade is
made up to the satisfaction of, and in the manner
prescribed by, the instructor.
All deficiencies must be made up in the pre-
scribed manner no later than 12 months following
the recording of the grade. Students requesting
an exception to this policy must petition the Ac-
ademic Standing Committee of University College
in writing. A student may also elect to repeat the
course at his or her expense.
Pass/Fail Grades Satisfactory completion of
work in all courses taken on a pass/fail basis will
be designated on the transcript by the letter "S."
Unsatisfactory work will be designated on the
transcript by the letter "U." Any unsatisfactory
grade must be handled according to the existing
policy of University College but may never be
cleared by enrolling in the same course on the
basis of the pass/fail system of grading.
An Incomplete in a course taken on a pass/fail
basis will be designated by the letter "X" on the
transcript and will be treated according to the
normal procedure for grades of Incomplete.
Dean's List All degree candidates who have
taken a minimum of 27 quarter hours in three
consecutive quarters (for example, fall, winter,
spnng) and who have completed all their courses
with a quality point average of 3.0 or better shall
be placed on the Dean's List. These students
receive certificates of commendation from the
Dean of University College. See page 18 for in-
formation about graduation with honor.
Attendance, Homework, and Examinations
Students are expected to attend all meetings of
the classes in which they are registered unless
excused in advance. Absence from regularly
scheduled classes will seriously affect the stu-
dent's academic standing. A student who is con-
sistently absent from class will be withdrawn from
the course by the Registrar.
Absence Because of Illness All students who
are absent from school because of extended ill-
ness and who do not wish to be withdrawn should
inform the Registrar's Office in writing.
Homework The specific work required for each
course in University College is determined by the
instructor. In general, it is expected that University
College students will spend an average of six to
eight hours per week outside of class on assign-
Academic Policies 23
merits for each course. Students who are absent
are responsible for obtaining their homework as-
signments from their instructors or other students
in their classes. Homework assignments are not
available in the Office of Academic and Student
Affairs.
Examinations Tests are scheduled throughout
each quarter at the option of the instructor and
are regarded as part of the term's course work.
A final examination is held at the end of each
quarter in each course unless an announcement
is made to the contrary.
Missed Final Examinations A student who
misses a final examination will be given a grade
of I (Incomplete). A student does not automati-
cally have the right to make up a missed final
examination. Students must petition for this priv-
ilege and must pay a fee of $30 for each makeup
examination. Petitions are available in 102
Churchill Hall and at all suburban administrative
offices. Petitions are available for four weeks after
the term has ended. Students will be notified prior
to the date of the make-up exam whether or not
their petition has been approved.
Students who make up a missed final exam will
have a letter or pass/fail grade substituted as
appropriate for the I grade on their transcripts.
l\/liscellaneous Policies
Students' Rights and Responsibilities The
University subscribes to the view that all students
have certain rights and freedoms. For these rea-
sons, the University has adopted and published
specific policies and procedures governing the
following matters: students' rights and freedoms,
general conduct, student discipline, disclosure of
information from students' records, and University
judicial procedures. Judicial procedures are re-
lated to issues of discipline and conduct, the right
of students to appeal judgments of their aca-
demic performance, grievances based on the
fact that a student is handicapped, and allega-
tions of sexual harassment. All policies and pro-
cedures governing the above matters may be
found in the University College/Lincoln College
Student Handbook. Copies are available in 102
Churchill Hall at the Boston campus, 617-437-
2400. Copies are also generally available at each
of the University's branch campus locations.
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act In
accordance with the Family Educational Rights
and Privacy Act of 1974, Northeastern University
permits students to inspect their records when-
ever appropriate and to challenge specific parts
of them when they feel it necessary. Specific de-
tails of the law as it applies to Northeastern are
available in the University College/Lincoln Col-
lege Student Handbook.
Disciplinary Action The Committee on Regu-
lations and Discipline has the authority to dismiss
from the College, place on probation, or remove
from the list of degree candidates any student
who, because of disruptive or illegal conduct or
poor character, is considered an unsuitable mem-
ber of the College community. The Committee on
Regulations and Discipline is an ad hoc subcom-
mittee of the University College Committee on
Academic Standing, It is convened at the request
of the Committee on Academic Standing.
Change of Address Change of address and/or
name should be reported in writing immediately
to the Registrar's Office, 120 Hayden Hall, North-
eastern University, 360 Huntington Avenue, Bos-
ton, MA 021 15.
Attendance at Commencement Attendance at
commencement for all University College degree
candidates is optional. Degree candidates will be
polled regarding their intention to attend com-
mencement by the Northeastern University Com-
mencement Committee during the spring quarter.
Changes In Requirements The continuing de-
velopment of University College requires frequent
revisions of the curricula. When no undue and
unusual hardship is imposed on students be-
cause of these changes, students are expected
to meet the requirements of the most current Bul-
letin. If a particular student finds it impossible to
meet those requirements, the Bulletin for the year
in which he or she declared a major is binding.
Note: Students who are planning to pursue a
bachelor's degree in business and who obtained
fewer than 88 quarter hours of credit by Septem-
ber 1983 are required to pursue the new Bachelor
of Science in Business Administration degree
program.
Academic programs, course content, and rules
and regulations are subject to change without
notice.

Career and Academic Counseling Services
Through a wide variety of career and academic
counseling services, University College is pre-
pared to assist students in making both educa-
tional and career decisions. The College does this
by providing academic advisers and career
counselors, by offering credit and noncredit ca-
reer-planning workshops and special programs,
and by serving as a link to other student support
services offered by Northeastern University.
The services, courses, and programs outlined
on the following pages have been designed with
specific educational and/or career-planning is-
sues in mind. Students are urged to read this
section carefully.
Open House Programs
Individuals who are thinking about enrolling in
University College for the first time are encour-
aged to attend an Open House. Open Houses
introduce potential students to the many Univer-
sity College programs and services designed to
meet the educational, job-related, and personal
needs of adult part-time students. They also orient
new students to the University as a whole and
address concerns that many students have
about:
• choosing courses and registering
• securing financial aid
• obtaining career or personal counseling
• managing work, school, and family responsibil-
ities.
Persons interested in a degree program will have
an opportunity to speak with advisers about de-
gree requirements, transfer of credit from other
colleges, and additional procedures for becom-
ing a student at University College. Students cur-
rently enrolled in University College are also
invited to attend an Open House.
Open Houses are ordinarily scheduled each
quarter at selected campus sites at or about the
same time that registration takes place. Since
space is limited, students are urged to express
their interest in attending an Open House prior to
any given registration period. (See the Academic
Calendar on pages vi-viii for a complete regis-
tration schedule.) Persons who wish to attend an
Open House should notify the Office of Academic
and Student Affairs by telephoning 61 7-437-2400.
Academic Advisers
Academic advisers are available day and eve-
ning by appointment in the Office of Academic
and Student Affairs and at branch-campus loca-
tions. They are competent to assist students in
planning a program suitable to their educational
and career objectives. Advisers can also answer
questions relating to degree requirements,
course sequences, and proper scheduling of
courses. Appointments may be arranged by tele-
phoning the Office of Academic and Student Af-
fairs at 617-437-2400 or by coming in person to
102 Churchill Hall at the Boston campus. There
is no charge for this service.
Academic advisers are also available without
appointment to answer general questions during
registration periods at all campuses. Throughout
the year, academic advisers are available by ap-
pointment at branch campuses. Appointments at
the Burlington Suburban Campus may be ar-
ranged by calling 617-272-5500. Appointments
at all other campuses are arranged through the
Office of Academic and Student Affairs at the
Boston campus, 617-437-2400. Lincoln College
students may arrange appointments by calling
617-437-2500.
Tutorial Services
Through the Office of Academic and Student Af-
fairs, University College offers tutorial assistance
in several subjects. Tutoring, which is on a one-
to-one basis, provides an opportunity for student
and tutor to focus on specific problems that might
not have been covered during class time. Stu-
dents may request tutorial information from the
Office of Academic and Student Affairs, 102
Churchill Hall, 617-437-2400. A flyer describing
tutorial services is also available in 102 Churchill
Hall and at all branch locations.
Career Counseling
Students in need of career counseling may tele-
phone 61 7-437-2400 to arrange an appointment
with a career counselor. This service is designed
26 Career and Academic Counseling Services
for students who need help in choosing a career
or in developing effective job-hunting strategies.
A career counselor will also help students utilize
additional services and programs offered by Uni-
versity College and by other offices at Northeast-
ern University.
Self-Assessment and Career Development
One of the strongest motivations for continuing
education is the desire for career advancement
or change. In order to help students develop ca-
reer and educational planning skills, University
College offers a three-credit course in career de-
velopment. Self-Assessment and Career Devel-
opment (INT 4110) is designed for persons who
feel undecided about a career choice and who
need help in defining career and educational ob-
jectives for themselves. For a complete descrip-
tion, see page 182.
Job-Search Seminars
Each quarter the Placement Office and the Office
of Academic and Student Affairs offer a series of
two-hour, evening, job-search seminars. The
seminars are specifically designed for students
who have identified the field or career area in
which they would like to work. Students planning
to participate should currently be looking for a job
or be anticipating a job change in the near future.
These seminars are intended to help students
assess their skills, define their immediate career
direction, develop effective job-search strategies,
write resumes, and prepare for job interviews.
Seminar schedules are announced in the Student
Newsletter and in classes two weeks prior to each
seminar series. Students who wish to participate
in the job-search seminars must reserve a place
by calling the University College Placement Office
at 617-437-2428.
Professional Experience Program
In conjunction with Northeastern's Department of
Career Development and Placement, University
College has developed a new program to assist
selected students in gaining entry into profes-
sional positions. The program begins operation in
the fall quarter, 1985.
The Professional Experience Program provides
students with an opportunity to work in paid po-
sitions related to their major, usually for periods
of six months. Students in the program may earn
three to 12 academic credits for documented
learning that takes place during their professional
placement. The amount of credit earned will be
related to the learning activities and outcomes
identified in their learning contracts.
Interested students may obtain an information
packet from the Office of Academic and Student
Affairs, 102 Churchill Hall, on the Boston campus.
The packet includes a full description of the pro-
gram, a list of admission criteria, placement pro-
cedures, and an application form. Students who
wish to discuss the program in the context of their
particular career needs should schedule an
appointment with a University College career
counselor. Call 617-437-2400 to arrange an ap-
pointment.
Core Career Courses for Women
University College offers a special group of per-
sonal assessment and career development
courses for women interested in a business ca-
reer. Through core career courses, women learn
to match their skills and competencies to those
needed in specific career areas in business. This
process, in turn, helps a woman determine which
specific jobs in business she is most suited to
pursue. The core career courses are also de-
signed to acquaint women with the organizational
dynamics of business settings and to help them
develop a basic understanding of the quantitative
and technical skills needed for various career
areas in business.
A complete list of these courses may be found
on page 182. They are open to any interested
student.

The Counseling and Testing Center at North-
eastern provides a wide variety of services free
of charge to all part-time students. Services for
University College students include:
Personal Counseling This involves discussing
with a counselor such concerns as adjusting to
being a student (again or for the first time), getting
along with people, feeling anxious or depressed,
as well as problems centered around family, sex,
drugs, or alcohol.
Career and Academic Counseling Services 27
Educational-Vocational Counseling This in-
volves assisting students in making decisions
about choice of major and/or career. It typically
involves an in-depth look at one's self, including
strengths, aspirations, and values. Tests are often
helpful in the process of self-understanding. The
kinds of tests available include interest, ability,
personality, and aptitude. This kind of planning is
usually done individually with a counselor, al-
though small groups may be organized if this
approach seems more appropriate.
The goals of the Center's educational-voca-
tional planning service are complementary to
those of the University College career-planning
courses. Therefore, interested persons are en-
couraged to explore both options for career ex-
ploration and planning and then choose the
service that seems best suited to their needs.
Study Skills Workshops (Available during the
day only) Workshops are offered periodically to
assist students in becoming more effective in or-
ganizing their time, in note taking, in preparing
for and taking exams, and in other areas related
to effective academic performance.

Tuition and Fees
Tuition and fees are refundable only as stated
under "Refund of Tuition." Cfiecks and drafts for
all cfiarges are to be made to the order of North-
eastern University.
Tuition for Courses in Other Departments or
Colleges of the University
University College students assigned to courses
in other departments or colleges of the University
are charged the tuition fees effective in the de-
partments or colleges in which they are enrolled.
initial Registration Fee
A nonrefundable $10 registration fee for first-time
students is billed with tuition fees.
Tuition
Tuition for all credit courses is $80 per quarter
hour of credit. Charges for registration and tuition
for special courses are at the rate specified for
each course. There is no reduction in fees in
auditing courses.
Noncredit courses are charged at quarter-hour
rates comparable to those of credit courses meet-
ing on an equivalent contact-hour schedule.
Students are not permitted to attend class ses-
sions or take any examination or test until they
have paid their tuition fees or have made satis-
factory arrangements for payment.
It is the student's responsibility to ensure that
all tuition charges and fees are paid when due. If
a bill has not been received prior to the start of
classes each quarter, the student should come in
person to the Bursar's Office, where a bill will be
processed.
Any discrepancies in billing should be imme-
diately brought to the attention of the Bursar's
Office. If there is a billing problem, the undisputed
portion of the bill should be paid on time to avoid
any additional late fees. Failure to receive a bill
through the mail or to pay the undisputed portion
of the bill are not justification for late payment of
amounts actually owed.
Students will not be advanced in class standing
or permitted to reenroll in the University nor will
degrees be conferred until all financial obligations
to the University have been met.
Tuition Budget Payment Plans Occasionally
situations develop— usually beyond the control of
the student — that make it difficult to meet the pay-
ments in the manner outlined above. Under such
circumstances the student is advised to contact
the Bursar's Office, where a deferred payment
agreement may be worked out. The only deferred
payment plan offered is as follows and applies
only to the amount owed for the current quarter:
1st payment Va due 1st week of quarter
2nd payment Vs due approx. 4th week of quarter ,
Balance Vs due approx. 8th week of quarter
Such arrangements should be made before the
end of the first week of the quarter or within one
week of the date of registration if the student ■
enters late. Deferred payment of tuition entails a i
fee of $10, which is levied on all accounts not 1
paid by the end of the second week of classes. 1
Failure to take immediate action will result in a (
late payment fee of $50. j
Tuition Underwritten by Employers An in-
creasing number of companies are underwriting
part or all of the cost of tuition of students in their
employ. In cases where payment is to be made
directly by the employer to the University, the
student should furnish the Bursar's Office with a
purchase order covering registration or a state-
ment from an officer of the company certifying
that the company is underwriting the tuition. In
cases where students are being reimbursed by
their employer, tuition must be paid by the student
according to the prescribed regulations to avoid
late payment charges.
Veterans' Benefits Any veteran covered by
Public Law 89-358 should report to 116 Hayden
Hall to fill out the proper enrollment forms.
Late Payment Fee Bills for tuition and fees are
payable in accordance with the due date shown.
A late payment fee of $50 will be charged for
failure to make payments in accordance with the
prescribed regulations.
Refund of Tuition The general policy in all
schools and colleges of the University with re-
spect to refunds of tuition is as follows:

cussed with the Bursar.
Tuition refunds will be granted only on the basis
of the date appearing on the official withdrawal

Fees
Student Center Fee All students in University
College on the Huntington Avenue campus are
charged $.75 each quarter for the services avail-
able in the Student Center.
Laboratory Fees Students enrolled in courses
that carry a laboratory fee must purchase a Lab-
oratory Fee and Deposit Card from the Bursar's
Office ($15 for extra cards).
A fee of $35 is charged for biology courses and
for those health professions courses that include
a laboratory. For chemistry courses the cards cost
$35 per quarter with the possibility of a $5 refund
at the end of the quarter, depending on breakage.

ing the quarter, the student must check his or her
status with the laboratory attendant. The Bursar's
Office will then refund any unused balance shown
on the card.

photography courses, for some art studio
courses, for arts and crafts courses, and for law
enforcement students who enroll in forensic lab-
oratory. A $40 fee is charged for the food prep-
aration course in the hotel and restaurant
management program.

ards Hall, offers several types of assistance to
32 Scholarships and Financial Aid
part-time students. All awards are based on fi-
nancial need. Aid granted from programs spon-
sored by the federal government is dependent
upon the amount of funding allocated to North-
eastern University. The University does not award
financial assistance in any form to students who
are not citizens or permanent residents of the
United States. All part-time students who wish to
apply for financial aid and who have not declared
a major must submit a Certification of Intention to
Complete a Degree form, available at the Univer-
sity College office, 102 Churchill Hall.
Satisfactory Academic Progress for Financial
Aid Recipients Recipients of financial aid are
required to make satisfactory academic progress
in order to continue their eligibility for aid. Uni-
versity College defines "satisfactory academic
progress" as:
• a minimum course load of six credit hours per
quarter
• a minimum average of C, or 2.0, in these
courses
• a cumulative academic record in any given ac-
ademic year (September through June) that re-
flects that the financial aid recipient has
registered for a minimum of 18 quarter hours of
credit and satisfactorily completed at least 12
quarter hours of credit with an overall quality
point average of 2.0 or better.
If at the end of any given academic year a student
receiving financial aid has failed to make satis-
factory academic progress toward his or her de-
gree, the Office of Financial Aid will be notified
by University College.
Pell Grant The Pell Grant Program is a federal
aid program designed to provide financial assis-
tance to degree candidates who need it to attend
post-high school educational institutions. Pell
Grants are intended to be the "floor" of a financial
aid package and may be combined with other
forms of aid in order to meet the full costs of
education. The Pell Grant is an award and, unlike
a loan, does not have to be repaid. Half-time
students taking at least six credit hours each
quarter may now apply for awards ranging up to
one-half the maximum allowable by law, contin-
gent upon the total cost of education. Applica-
tions are available in the Office of Financial Aid,
275 Richards Hall, or by writing to the Pell Grant
Program, Post Office Box 84, Washington, DC
20044.
Massachusetts State Scholarship Massachu-
setts residents enrolled as full-time students (i.e.,
12 credit hours per quarter for fall, winter, and
spring) may be eligible for a Massachusetts State
Scholarship. To apply, students must submit a
Massachusetts Financial Aid Form (MFAF) for res-
idents of Massachusetts. The deadline date for
applications is March 1. Massachusetts State
Scholarships are awarded based on need as de-
termined by the Massachusetts Financial Aid
Form.
Adult Learners Program The Massachusetts
Board of Regents of Higher Education has estab-
lished the Massachusetts Adult Learners Program
as a need-based, state-funded, financial aid pro-
gram designed primarily to assist Aid for Depen-
dent Children (AFDC) recipients in obtaining a
college education. The amount of each award
varies depending on the applicant's demon-
strated need, but it will not exceed $1 ,320 per
year.
To be considered for the program, applicants
must be full- or part-time undergraduate students
at Northeastern, taking at least one three-credit-
hour course. They must also have been perma-
nent, legal residents of Massachusetts for one
year prior to receiving the award. Awards are
presented according to state-established priori-
ties. Female AFDC recipients with children be-
tween the ages of 14 and 18 have highest priority;
the next highest level of candidate includes all
other AFDC recipients, followed by candidates
who meet the basic residency, academic, and
need requirements. Awards are made on a first-
come, first-served basis. Applications are avail-
able at the Office of Financial Aid.
Guaranteed Student Loan Program The Guar-
anteed Student Loan Program enables a student
to borrow a maximum of $2,500 per academic
year directly from a bank, credit union, or other
participating lender in the student's home com-
munity. The loan is guaranteed by a state or pri-
vate nonprofit agency and is insured by the
federal government. The interest on the loan will
be subsidized by the federal government while
the student is in school. The loan must be re-
paid.
Students whose families have an adjusted
gross income below $30,000 will be eligible for a
loan if they are enrolled or have been accepted
for enrollment at least half-time in an institution of |
Scholarships and Financial Aid 33
higher education and are citizens or nationals of
the United States. Students whose families ex-
ceed this income ceiling may be eligible if they
can show financial need in accordance with US
Department of Education guidelines. All students
are eligible for federal interest benefits. Under
these benefits, the federal government will pay
the interest until the student begins repaying the
loan.
The legal maximum loan borrowed through the
Guaranteed Student Loan Program for any single
academic year is $2,500. The maximum loan for
an entire undergraduate program is $12,500.
The maximum loan amount in one academic
year may never exceed the cost of education,
less other financial aid received. In practice, how-
ever, the Guarantee Agency in the state where
the loan is written may set loan limits less than
these maximums. In the final analysis, the lender
decides the amount of the loan.
Repayment of a Guaranteed Loan usually be-
gins six months after a student withdraws or grad-
uates from an educational institution or ceases to
carry at least a half-time course load. The repay-
ment period may be as long as ten years. The
amount of the payments depends upon the size
of the debt and the student's ability to pay; in
most cases, the borrower must pay at least $600
per year.
During the repayment period, the loan carries
a simple interest rate of nine percent per annum,
which is paid by the borrower.
Note: For students who have previously partic-
ipated in the Guaranteed Student Loan Program
and who have outstanding loans at seven per-
cent, the interest rate on subsequent loans will
continue to be seven percent.
Repayment on loans may be deferred if the
borrower returns to at least half-time study at an
eligible educational institution. Deferment of re-
payment is also allowed for up to three years of
service in the armed forces, Peace Corps, or full-
time programs conducted by ACTION. In most
cases, the actual repayment schedule will be es-
tablished by the lender shortly after the borrower
leaves school.
Students who borrow funds through the Guar-
anteed Student Loan Program are subject to the
legal responsibilities listed below:
1. Students must report any of the following
changes to the lending institution:
a. withdrawal from school
b. transfer to another school
c. reduction of course load to less than half-
time
d. change of address or parents' address
e. change of name.
2. Students are liable for any false information
that they report on the application.
3. Students must use the loan funds for educa-
tional purposes only.
4. If a student fails to repay the loan as agreed
under the Federally Insured Loan Program
Regulations, legal action can result.
Failure to comply with any of the above respon-
sibilities could make a student ineligible for any
future loans from the program.
Additional information about financial aid is
available from the Office of Financial Aid, 254
Richards Hall, 617-437-3190.
All federal financial aid programs are subject
to change depending on adequate and con-
tinuing federal support.

seniors in each of the Colleges. The Alumni Office
also is involved in establishing diverse enrich-
ment and education programs to meet the con-
temporary vocational and avocational needs of
Northeastern's graduates. The Alumni Associa-
tion has also initiated a successful group travel
program to provide the alumni of Northeastern
with interesting, economical opportunities in for-
eign travel. Notice of all activities is provided in
the Northeastern alumni magazine and in special
publications.
Regional alumni clubs have been established
from coast to coast. All alumni are eligible to
become members of these organizations. The
clubs meet periodically with a varied program,
often in conjunction with professional and athletic
events, faculty visits, and service projects. Alumni
class organizations conduct reunions for their re-
spective classes every five years.
The Association sponsors and assists constit-
uent organizations that focus on common profes-
sional and avocational interests and college
affiliations. These groups have their own officers
and conduct various programs throughout the
year.

bachelor's degree requires approximately 174
quarter hours of credit.
Programs leading to the Associate in Science
degree help provide students with a background
in fundamental areas in business administration,
health professions and sciences, law enforce-
ment, and liberal arts. The associate degree re-
quires 96 quarter hours of credit and is equivalent
to the conventional two-year, or junior, college in
scope and quality. Certificate programs in a va-
riety of disciplines are also offered.

Purpose
University College recognizes that adult students
seek educational opportunities in business to sat-
isfy many different professional needs. To help
meet these needs, the College offers a wide se-
lection of business and business-related courses,
as well as structured academic programs. Among
the available options are 1 1 certificate programs,
1 1 associate degree programs, and four bacca-
laureate degree programs. All certificate and de-
gree programs have the common objective of
offering students an opportunity to achieve
professional competence in a formal set of busi-
ness subjects while laying the foundation for fur-
ther professional growth.
The Programs
Certificates in Business University College of-
fers 1 1 different certificate programs for individ-
uals seeking to build or advance a marketable
specialization in business. The professional areas
covered by the certificate programs include ac-
counting; compensation and benefits manage-
ment; computer programming and systems
analysis; finance; hotel and restaurant manage-
ment; human resources management; marketing;
operations management; purchasing; real estate;
and transportation and physical distribution man-
agement.
The University College certificate programs in
business are designed for:
• students who plan to complete an associate's
degree and possibly a bachelor's degree but
who first want to acquire the marketable skills
offered in the certificate program
• individuals seeking an intensive course of study
in a business discipline but who do not wish to
acquire a degree
• individuals already holding a degree who wish
to acquire specialized knowledge for career
change or professional development.
The certificate programs are designed so that
transfer into a related degree program is possi-
ble. Certificates can be earned based on aca-
demic work completed within the last five years.
Detailed information on these certificate pro-
grams, together with a recommended course se-
quence for completing them, appears in the
section on certificate programs, pages 131-141.
Associate in Science Degree Northeastern of-
fers part-time students a choice of 1 1 business
programs leading to the Associate in Science
degree: accounting, business administration, fi-
nance, hotel and restaurant management, human
resources management, industrial management,
management information systems, marketing,
purchasing, real estate, and transportation and
physical distribution management.
These programs provide breadth of perspec-
tive through exposure to a well-balanced se-
quence of liberal arts courses. Specialized
knowledge for future managerial growth may be
acquired through the study of a core of profes-
sional business courses and a major or concen-
tration in a business discipline. Students who
have completed a certificate program may enroll
in an associate degree program. While the credits
earned in a certificate program may be applied
toward this degree, completion of a certificate
program is not required for the associate degree.
To be awarded the associate degree, a student
must successfully complete the 96 quarter hours
of course credit detailed on the following pages.
Baciielor of Science in Business Administra-
tion Degree The Bachelor of Science in Busi-
ness Administration degree is offered in
accounting, management, and management in-
formation systems. Students who have clearly de-
cided to pursue a baccalaureate degree in
business should enroll in the courses detailed on
pages 42-43 prior to petitioning for admission to
the Bachelor of Science in Business Administra-
tion degree program. These courses will provide
students with the broad educational foundation
needed for the study of professional-level courses
in business administration.
Students who wish to earn one of the Associate
in Science degrees in business prior to entry into
'&■-/>■.
■.^yim
Business Administration 41
! the Bachelor of Science in Business Administra-
i tion degree program are advised that the Univer-
I sity College Bachelor of Science in Business
Administration degree program includes a vali-
dation requirement for upper-level business
courses taken while pursuing the associate de-
gree. (See details below.)
Admission to the Bachelor of Science in Busi-
ness Administration degree program is restricted
to students who have maintained a 2.0 cumulative
grade-point average and completed a minimum
of 80 quarter hours (60 semester hours) of credit,
including certain basic courses in required sub-
jects, either in University College or at another
accredited institution. There is a special appli-
cation form for admission to this program.
The Bachelor of Science in Business Adminis-
tration degree program conforms with all stan-
dards established by the American Assembly of
Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), which
has been recognized by the Council for Post-
secondary Accreditation and by the United States
Office of Education as the sole accrediting or-
ganization for university bachelor's and master's
degree programs in business administration.
While there are more than 2,000 college and uni-
versity business programs in the United States,
fewer than 10 percent of these institutions offer
business programs that are fully accredited by
AACSB. Northeastern University is unique in the
New England region in that both its full-time and
part-time baccalaureate degree business pro-
grams are accredited.
Validation Requirement
"Validation" is the term used to describe a set of
procedures that tests whether an upper-level
course completed at the lower division of a bac-
calaureate program should be accepted for
transfer credit in the upper division of an AACSB-
approved baccalaureate degree program.
There are three approved validation methods.
1. Sequential Course. Students who enroll in the
Bachelor of Science in Business Administration
degree program can validate a course taken at
University College or elsewhere by successfully
completing a course that is sequential to the
course already completed. The sequential course
must be taken in a reserved section. For example,
successful completion of Cost Accounting 2 in a
reserved section can validate Cost Accounting 1,
regardless of where the student completed Cost
Accounting 1. Similarly, by successfully complet-
ing Marl<eting Management 1 in a reserved sec-
tion, a student can validate Introduction to
Marketing 1.
2. College Level Examination Program (CLEP)
and/or Proficiency Examination Program (PEP).
These standardized examinations can be used to
validate some previously taken upper-level busi-
ness courses.
3. Departmental Examination. In cases where a
sequential course does not exist or is not desired
by a student, and no appropriate CLEP or PEP
examination exists, validation can be accom-
plished through a departmental examination.
Please note that certain business courses do
not require validation. They include the following:
Accounting Principles 1, 2, and 3; Introduction to
Business and Management 1, 2, and 3; Introduc-
tion to Data Processing and Information Systems
1 and 2; Law 1 and 2; and all computer program-
ming language courses. Also, business-related
courses in other disciplines do not have to be
validated. Examples are courses in economics
and statistics.
In addition, previously taken upper-level busi-
ness courses that are not required for a particular
business concentration are considered to be
electives and do not need validating. For exam-
ple, an upper-level course in cost accounting
would not require validation for management con-
centrators, since cost accounting is not a re-
quired course for management concentrators in
the Bachelor of Science in Business Administra-
tion degree program.
Reserved and Open Sections All scheduled
sections of certain University College business
courses required for a business degree are clas-
sified as either reserved or open. Eligibility to
register for reserved or open sections depends
on the total number of course credits (including
transfer credits) that a student has accumulated.
A reserved section of a course is restricted to
students who have accumulated 80 or more
course credits. Reserved sections of certain busi-
ness courses are mandatory for students who
have enrolled in one of the three Bachelor of
Science in Business Administration degree pro-
grams. Please refer to the Schedule Guide for
details on which courses are reserved and how
to register for them.
An open section of a course is one in which
students may register without any restrictions.

Planning a Program of Study
Current Students Currently enrolled students,
including those who have already been awarded
transfer credit by the Office of Academic and
Student Affairs, may have their credits reeval-
uated toward one of the Bachelor of Science in
Business Administration degree programs by
completing a General Petition, which will enable
students to review their degree program options
and select the program that best suits their
needs. The General Petition may be requested
by calling 617-437-2400. Petitions are also avail-
able at all campus locations. After receiving an
evaluation of their transfer credits, students may
schedule an appointment with an academic ad-
viser to discuss the alternative academic pro-
grams available to them.
New Students Students who plan to enter Uni-
versity College to work toward the Bachelor of
Science in Business Administration degree
should submit to the Office of Academic and Stu-
dent Affairs transcripts of previously completed
college-level coursework and a Transfer Credit
Petition. (Transfer Credit Petitions may be re-
quested by calling 617-437-2400. They are also
available at all campus locations.) Students will
receive by mail a transfer credit evaluation and a
suggested plan of study to prepare for admission
to the Bachelor of Science in Business Adminis-
tration degree program. When this paperwork has
been completed, students are encouraged to
schedule an appointment with an academic ad-
viser to discuss their programs.
Recommended Lower-Level Courses
Students who do not have any academic
courses that may be transferred- from another ed-
ucational institution or program should plan to
meet with an academic adviser early in their stud-
ies in University College. These students will be
required to complete 80 quarter hours of credit,
including English courses ENG 4110, 4111, and
4112; Mathematics courses MTH 41 1 0 and 4111;
and a social science elective from the group of
courses listed at the end of the next section. The
course work must be completed prior to admis-
sion to the Bachelor of Science in Business Ad-
ministration degree program.
Admission Requirements A Petition for Ad-
mission to the Bachelor of Science in Business
Administration degree program must be com-
pleted and returned to the Office of Academic
and Student Affairs to initiate the admissions pro-
cess. This petition may be obtained at all campus
locations or by calling 617-437-2400.
To be admitted to the Bachelor of Science in
Business Administration degree program, stu-
dents must have completed at least 80 quarter
hours of credit with an overall grade point aver-
age of C (2.0) or better. This course work must
include English courses ENG 4110, 4111, and
41 12; Mathematics courses MTH 41 1 0 and 4111;
and one social science elective or its equivalent.
Students are encouraged to earn their remaining
credits by selecting courses from the listing of
recommended lower-level courses that follows.

Bachelor of Science Degree Students who ac
cumulated 88 or more quarter hours of credit by
September 1 983 were allowed to continue to work
toward a bachelor's degree under the course and
program requirements in effect until the fall quar-
ter of 1 983. As of the fall 1 983, new students were
eligible only for the Bachelor of Science in Busi-
ness Administration (BSBA) degree. However,
students continuing in these programs must com-
plete the degree by June 1986, since these pro-
grams will no longer be available after that date.
These students should consult the 1982-83 Uni-
versity College Bulletin for details on degree re-
quirements.
Business l\ilnor Students enrolled in Bachelor
of Science degree programs outside the area of
business may choose to minor in business. A
minor in business may be attractive to individuals
seeking to enhance their professional credentials
without necessarily obtaining a business degree.
Individuals who earn an associate degree in a
business program and transfer to a bachelor's
degree program other than business have the
option of earning a minor in business administra-
tion. Students earning a bachelor's degree in a
nonbusiness area are permitted to accumulate
up to 44 quarter hours (25 percent of the credits
toward a bachelor's degree) in business subjects.
Any credits accumulated beyond this limit from
business courses cannot be used to fulfill the
graduation requirements for a Bachelor of Sci-
ence degree in a nonbusiness area.

Aims
Programs in allied health are offered through Uni-
versity College to help students prepare for ad-
vancement and service in hospitals and other
health agencies through part-time study.
Degree programs, both associate and bacca-
laureate, are designed to provide professional
specialization and general educational develop-
ment. All programs are designed to meet the ac-
creditation standards of the Committee on Allied
Health Education and Accreditation (CAHEA) of
the American Medical Association (AMA) and of
licensing or registration boards where such exist.
The CAHEA is responsible for adopting essen-
tials (minimal standards for AMA accreditation)
for allied health education programs with the ad-
vice of AMA section councils, medical specialty
societies, and allied health organizations. The
United States Commissioner of Education and the
nongovernment Council on Post-secondary Ac-
creditation recognize the AMA and collaborating
organizations for the purpose of accrediting ed-
ucational programs for established allied health
occupations.
Course Distribution
It is the goal of Northeastern University to offer
students a balanced educational background. To
this end, the following curriculum design is in
effect for most programs:
Professional and professionally related 35-50%
Basic and allied sciences 25-40%
Liberal arts 25-40%
Students choose electives to fulfill course dis-
tribution requirements and to equal the number
of credits required for the specific degree.
Clinical Assignments
Clinical assignments are generally available for
students whose programs require directed ap-
plied study in a clinical setting. In most instances
lectures are presented at the University, while
clinical practice is conducted at various hospitals
or other health agencies in the Greater Boston
area. Positions for applied clinical studies are
often offered on a competitive basis, with the stu-
dent's academic performance in both didactic
and basic professional courses used as the basis
for acceptance. Academic credit earned during
the practicum is usually applicable toward the
degree requirement.
Students accepting clinical assignments in
health facilities are expected to adhere to require-
ments of the facility, all of which are outside Uni-
versity control.
Preprofessional Medical Courses
Each year a number of students enroll in Univer-
sity College courses in order to complete science
courses required for entrance into a doctoral pro-
gram at a health professional school. Most of
these persons already possess a bachelor's de-
gree in a nonscience field, although a few may
be enrolled in a Bachelor of Science or Bachelor
of Arts degree program in University College. The
information provided below is for those students
who plan to apply for admission to schools of
medicine, osteopathy, dentistry, podiatry, or op-
tometry. Those who wish to pursue veterinary
medicine may need to meet different entrance
requirements and should consult the chair of the
Health Professions Advisory Committee for addi-
tional advice.
Course Requirements Professional schools for
each of the doctoral health professions have quite
similar undergraduate college course require-
ments. These courses must be completed before
one may enroll in medical school, and generally
should be completed before one takes the ad-
mission test (MCAT, DAT, etc.) that is part of the
admissions process.

The requirement of one year generally means
eight semester hours of course work. Northeast-
em's quarter hour is equal to three quarters of a
semester hour. A 12-quarter-hour, three-quarter
course sequence in University College is there-
fore equivalent to nine semester hours and easily
meets the one-year requirement.
Northeastern University's Health Professions
Advisory Committee provides academic advice
and help with professional school applications for
students in any of the University's health pro-
grams. While advice is available to anyone en-
rolled in a course, the Committee can prepare
evaluation letters only for those who have taken
sufficient work at Northeastern to be able to have
at least two Northeastern faculty members write
letters to the Committee.

Course Sequences to Meet Minimum Admis-
sion Requirements
The following list shows acceptable sequences
which can be taken by students preparing for
health professional schools. Completing one se-
quence from each category should meet the min-
imum requirements of most medical or dental
schools. If you have questions about whether
other courses might be applicable, talk with Dr.
Ellis or another member of the Health Professions i
Advisory Committee.

Area Program Directors and Coordinators
Within the University College health professions
programs there are several area Program Direc-
tors and Coordinators. Area Program Directors,
along with the Director of Health Professions and
Science Programs, have overall responsibility for
the academic integrity and quality of the health
programs in their areas of specialty. The Program
Coordinators for each area serve as the chief
academic advisers for students in their programs

who wish to prepare, on a part-time basis, for
entry into or advancement in managerial positions
in the health care field. This program includes
special concentration of professional courses to
prepare for licensure examination in long-term
care administration.
The health management curriculum encompas-
ses course work from a variety of disciplines.
Courses are planned, in many instances, to be
taken in a preset sequence, which first introduces
broad concepts and then gives students an op-
portunity to apply such concepts in specific
professional courses. Some management
courses serve as prerequisites to more special-
ized health care administration courses. Similarly,
certain health care administration courses serve
as foundations for other electives. Students must
adhere to the prerequisites in their course selec-
tion. The following is a summary of planned
course sequences. It is not necessary to take
sequence A before sequence B, and so on; pre-
requisites apply only to courses within a se-
quence.

Medical Laboratory Science— Medical Technology
Medical laboratory science is concerned with lab-
oratory examination of nnateriai necessary for
proper monitoring of health and for the diagnosis
and treatment of illness. Working in a variety of
specialized fields such as microbiology, blood
banking, hematology, clinical chemistry, or as
generalists in all these areas, medical laboratory
technicians and technologists are important
health professionals.
The associate degree medical laboratory tech-
nician works under the direct supervision of a
medical technologist and performs most of the
common medical laboratory tests. The bachelor's
degree medical technologist is considered qual-
ified to perform, with little or no direct supervision,
levels of laboratory tests from the simplest to the
most complex. With additional education or ex-
perience, medical technologists can also function
as educators, researchers, or supervisors. Med-
ical technicians and technologists hold positions
in hospital, private, and research laboratories.
Some serve as sales and technical representa-
tives for scientific supply and equipment com-
panies; others serve in government positions.
Both the associate degree and bachelor's de-
gree programs are conducted in affiliation with
hospitals in the Boston area. The baccalaureate
degree is accredited by the Committee of Allied
Health Education and Accreditation of the Amer-
ican Medical Association. Upon successful com-
pletion of one of these programs, the student
receives either the Associate in Science or Bach-
elor of Science degree and is eligible to take a
national certification examination given by either
the National Certification Agency for Medical Lab-
oratory Personnel or the Board of Registry of the
American Society of Clinical Pathology.
The basic courses in medical laboratory sci-
ence and basic science and general education
courses are offered evenings, but the advanced
medical laboratory science courses and the clin-
ical experience are only offered full time during
the day.
Prerequisite: Satisfactory completion of the
Mathematics Placement Test or Introduction to
Mathematics 1 and 2 (MTH 4110, MTH 4111).
Professional Requirements for the Associate
Degree-Medical Laboratory Technician A clin-
ical applied study program or appropriate sub-
stitute work experience is a required component
of this degree. Work experience is acceptable if
it meets the requirements for certification of either
the National Certification Agencyfor Medical Lab-
oratory Personnel or the Board of Registry of the
American Society of Clinical Pathologists. Stu-
dents without appropriate work experience can
apply for clinical applied studies through the Uni-
versity College MLS Clinical Coordinator, 206 Mu-
gar; 617-437-3664.
Prerequisites for the clinical applied studies are
a minimum of a 2.0 quality point average in re-
quired courses and a C- or better in each med-
ical laboratory science course (MLS. ...). These
basic courses are available during the evening
and, on an every-other-year basis, through the
College of Pharmacy and Allied Health Profes-
sions. Students register for these courses in the
Basic College (College of Pharmacy and Allied
Health Professions), 206 Mugar. Tuition is the
same as that charged for all Basic College MLS
professional courses. These courses should be
completed within three years of applying to the
AD-MLT Clinical Applied Studies.
Students must apply to the Clinical Coordinator
in the College of Pharmacy and Allied Health
Professions (206 Mugar) for the six-month clinical
applied studies component of the associate de-
gree program in Medical Laboratory Science.
This should be done one year in advance of the
anticipated time of entry into the applied study
courses. Students register for clinical applied
study in the Basic College (206 Mugar). Tuition is
at the Basic College rate.
Professional Requirements for the Bachelor of
Science Degree Clinical applied study courses
are available on a full time basis only, and are
offered through the College of Pharmacy and Al-
lied Health Professions. Students must apply for
the applied study courses one year in advance.
A minimum of four quarters of full-time study is
necessary for completion of the program require-
ments. During this time the student must meet all
the requirements of the last four quarters of the
undergraduate Basic College curriculum for the
Bachelor of Science degree. Students register for
clinical applied study in the Basic College (206
Mugar). Tuition is at the Basic College rate.
Prerequisites for the clinical applied study com-
ponent include completion of each MLS course
with a C- or better grade within five years of
application to the applied study and completion
of all other courses with an overall quality point
average of 2.5 or higher.

Medical Laboratory Science — Hematology
Bachelor of Science Degree
Hematology is a specialty within medical labora-
tory science. Hematology technologists may be
employed in hospitals and clinical laboratones,
where they perform specific laboratory tests that
aid in the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of
infections, anemias, leukemias. and bleeding dis-
orders. The modern hematology laboratory is
usually well equipped with electronic instruments
which the technologist must operate and main-
tain. Additional responsibilities may include lab-
oratory quality control and associated problem
solving.
The requirements for categoncal certification in
hematology are indicated by the Board of Regis-
try of the American Society of Clinical Pathologists
and the National Certification Agency.
Students should contact the American Society
of Clinical Pathologists, Board of Registry, P.O.
Box 96215. Chicago, IL 60693 for details con-
Hematology (Major Code 807)
corning eligibility to wnte the hematology exami-
nation, and the National Accrediting Agency for
Clinical Laboratory Sciences, 547 W. Jackson
Blvd., Suite 608. Chicago, IL 60606.
The curriculum in hematology does not incor-
porate a clinical or applied study component but
is designed primarily for those who already work
in this field. It gives them the opportunity to earn
a baccalaureate degree with a concentration in
this particular area of clinical laboratory science.
All Medical Laboratory Science clinical courses
will be offered directly through the College of
Pharmacy and Allied Health Professions. Stu-
dents must register for the courses through the
Basic College. 206 Mugar. Tuition is the same as
that charged for all Basic College Medical Lab-
oratory Science professional courses. A grade of
C- or better is required in the professional
courses.

pital, and an important functionary in the produc-
tion, quality control, and inspection laboratories
of the industrial community. Medically related re-
sponsibilities demand effective rapport with in-
ternists, surgeons, pathologists, nurses, and
laboratory personnel, while industrial competency
requires close association with metallurgists, pro-
duction and manufacturing specialists, engi-
neers, and scientists.
Prerequisite: Candidates must have satisfac-
torily passed at the high school level three years
of math {Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and geometry),
one year of biology, and one year of an additional
science (chemistry or physics). All applicants
must satisfactorily complete the Scholastic Apti-
tude Test (SAT) and submit one letter of recom-
mendation from a science instructor. In addition,
applicants must satisfy general University re-
quirements and satisfactorily complete the

Therapeutic Recreation Services
Health Professions and Sciences 85
Therapeutic recreation, which is concerned with
the revitalization of the mind, spirit, and skills of
people in rehabilitation facilities, connmunity set-
tings, nursing homes, and hospitals, has
emerged as an important part of the team con-
cept in human services.
The certificate verifies that the criteria set by
the program's consultant have been met and that
a basic level of competence in this field has been
attained. At present there is no official state
licensing board for therapeutic recreation practi-
tioners to give the certificate public standing; it is
recognized, however, by the Massachusetts Rec-
reation and Park Association in its professional
registration plan.
Students in the certificate and associate de-
gree programs may go on to pursue a Bachelor
of Science degree in Health Management or So-
ciology in University College, or in Therapeutic
Recreation in the day undergraduate program of
Northeastern's Department of Health, Sport, and
Leisure Studies.

Law Enforcement
Director, Law Enforcement Programs
200 Churchill Hall, 617-437-3324
Aims
Law enforcement programs are offered to help
meet the needs of present and potential practi-
tioners in the fields of corrections, law enforce-
ment, and security who wish to have the
opportunity to acquire a liberal education as well
as professional competence, or to gain recogni-
tion for continuing development in that profession.
Classes are tailored to suit the shifting tours of
duty of many of its students.
Programs
Requirements for each program are outlined on
the following pages. Upon petition, students may
be permitted to substitute other courses that will
more adequately serve their specific objectives.
Bachelor of Science Degree Program Pro-
grams leading to the Bachelor of Science degree
are offered in correctional practices, law enforce-
ment, and security. Students should choose their
major field of study in consultation with a program
adviser.
Each curriculum provides for not less than 174
quarter hours of work, including at least 75 quar-
ter hours of advanced work in a major field.
Transfer students must complete at least 45
quarter hours of academic work at University Col-
lege immediately preceding graduation in order
to be eligible to receive a degree.
Associate in Science Degree Program Pro
grams leading to the associate degree are of-
fered for those who wish to obtain a general
background in correctional practices, law en-
forcement, or security and who may later wish to
pursue a baccalaureate degree.
Candidates for the Associate in Science de-
gree must complete a minimum of 96 quarter
hours of credit. This is approximately one half of
the requirements for the Bachelor of Science de-
gree and includes at least 48 quarter hours of
work in a major field.
Honors Program The Honors Program is de-
signed to provide qualified students with the op-
portunity to achieve broader experience within
their chosen fields.
In general, the program consists of indepen-
dent study, a directed reading seminar, indepen-
dent research projects, and special seminars.
Each student's program is arranged in consulta-
tion with the Program Director and the Honors
Faculty Committee.
The Honors Program is open to all law enforce-
ment degree candidates in University College
who have obtained an associate degree or equiv-
alent and have a minimum cumulative grade point
average of 3.0. Students who are eligible for this
program may apply for admission to the Director
of Law Enforcement Programs.
For course descriptions, see page 151.
Credit for Noncollegiate Experience (NCE)
Corrections, law enforcement, or security degree
candidates may obtain up to 18 quarter hours of
noncollegiate experience credit (NCE) for knowl-
edge acquired in a nontraditional manner by pe-
titioning to take a comprehensive examination in
the specific subject area. Petitions for these ex-
aminations may be obtained in 102 Churchill Hall
or from the Director of Law Enforcement Pro-
grams.
NCE cannot be used to fulfill residence require-
ments. NCE cannot be given for courses that can
be accredited through the CLEP testing program
at the time of the petition. Grades will not be
assigned to NCE credits. It is possible that this
credit may be applicable toward a degree in Uni-
versity College only.
92 Law Enforcement
Course Sequence
Upon completion of the courses required for en-
rollment, the student should elect courses from
the core and major concentration areas to fulfill
the requirements for the Associate in Science and
the Bachelor of Science degrees.
Degree requirements may be completed at the
student's own pace. A total of 32 courses is re-
quired for an Associate in Science degree, which
can be completed in as little time as three years,
or nine academic quarters. A Bachelor of Science
degree can be completed over a period of five
years, or 15 academic quarters. This schedule
averages out to four courses per academic quar-
ter.
Intensive Courses Many courses are frequently
offered as single-quarter intensives during the
regular school year. Intensive courses offer stu-
dents the opportunity to achieve their objectives
in a shorter period of time. Please refer to the
listing of courses on pages 183-190.
Distribution Requirements In order to satisfy
the distribution requirements in any law enforce-
ment program, students should first discuss their
programs with an academic adviser.
English courses ENG 4110, ENG 4111, ENG
4112 (9 quarter hours), must be taken prior to
enrollment. The remaining required courses,
amounting to 33-36 quarter hours, should be
taken from the distribution of the basic required,
core required, and major concentration courses
as listed on the following pages.

Aims
In providing the means to a modern liberal edu-
cation. University College has the main objective
of stimulating and guiding the self-development
of the student in three main areas: first, intellectual
growth; second, the development of a sense of
values; and third, preparation for, or advance-
ment in, a career.
Intellectual growth^the development of the
ability to think independently and creatively —
rests upon the foundation of a sound general
education. Through the liberal arts curricula, stu-
dents are guided toward an appreciative under-
standing of the active discovery of ideas and
methods in the areas of humanities, natural sci-
ence, and social science. With this training, the
student can more fully realize the basic values
upon which civilization rests and can more fully
participate in the intellectual, moral, and material
achievement of that civilization.
University College holds that there is no incon-
sistency between a truly liberal education and
preparation for a vocation. As an adventure in
intellectual discovery, a liberal education leads to
the broadening and intensification of interests as
the student becomes aware of his or her own
mental strengths and weaknesses. This discovery
is essential for making more intelligent and real-
istic appraisals of self and career. A career brings
meaning and focus to the educational experi-
ence. Education presents both a challenge to
accept responsibility and an opportunity to seek
knowledge and skills.
Bachelor's Degree in Liberal Studies
(Pending University Approval)
Consistent with its aim to provide students with a
sound liberal education, University College offers
a Bachelor of Arts degree in Liberal Studies. De-
signed to help students develop communication,
analytical, and research skills while exploring the
great ideas of the ages and the issues fac-
ing modern times, the program's courses are
grouped in four areas:
• Communication and Critical Thinking
• Cultural Heritage
• Science, Research, and Quantitative Methods
• Contemporary Studies
The courses in each area are selected to pro-
vide students with both a broad knowledge base
and a depth of perception resulting from viewing
several subjects from different disciplinary per-
spectives.
In addition, 45 quarter hours of elective credits
are provided to allow students to take a certificate
program and/or select individual courses in ac-
cordance with their personal and career interests.
Upon approaching completion of individual
course work in Cultural Heritage and Contempo-
rary Studies, students take an interdisciplinary
seminar in each area to integrate their learning
experiences.
A complete listing of Liberal Studies courses
may be found on pages 118-119.
Traditional and Career-Linked Bachelor's
Programs
Both Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science
degrees are offered in seven traditional disci-
plines: art, English, history, music, political sci-
ence, psychology, and sociology-anthropology.
One of the distinguishing characteristics of the
Bachelor of Arts degree is that it includes a lan-
guage requirement, whereas the Bachelor of Sci-
Liberal Arts 107
ence degree does not. Distribution requirements
for these programs are listed in this section.
Bachelor of Science degrees more directly linked
to the modern workplace are offered in econom-
ics and in technical communications. The eco-
nomics degree includes a finance certificate,
while the technical communications degree in-
cludes a professional experience program. For
details see, respectively, pages 111 and 129.
Professional Concentrations
Three traditional degree programs — English, po-
litical science, and sociology-anthropology— offer
professional concentrations designed to teach
specialized skills and help create new career op-
tions for liberal arts students. Consult the follow-
ing pages for individual program details.
Human Services page 128
Public Administration page 123
Writing page 112
Business Administration IVIinor
Candidates for either the Bachelor of Arts or
Bachelor of Science degree in a liberal arts pro-
gram area have the option of completing a minor
in business administration. Students who wish to
earn a minor in business administration must uti-
lize some of the open electives permitted in their
degree programs for this purpose. Students
should meet with an academic adviser from the
Office of Academic and Student Affairs to identify
the courses required for a minor in business. Stu-
dents earning a bachelor's degree in a liberal arts
area are permitted to accumulate up to 44 quarter
hours (25 percent of the credits toward a bach-
elor's degree) in business subjects. Any credits
accumulated beyond this limit from business
courses cannot be used to fulfill the graduation
requirements for a Bachelor of Science degree in
a liberal arts area.
The Associate in Science Degree
The program leading to the associate degree is
offered for those desiring a general cultural back-
ground in liberal arts, but who do not wish to
pursue a major field of concentration for the bac-
calaureate degree.
Candidates for the Associate in Science de-
gree in Arts and Sciences must complete a min-
imum of 96 quarter hours of credit. This is
approximately one half of the requirements (174
quarter hours) for the Bachelor of Science de-
gree.
To provide a balanced program that will
achieve the established objectives, the faculty
has set a minimum credit requirement in the sev-
eral areas of study as listed under each major.
Certificates in Ten Areas
Students who seek specialized skills to advance
their careers may choose from among the follow-
ing ten humanities certificate programs, which
may be taken independently or in conjunction
with degree study:
• Advertising and Public Relations
• American Sign Language (ASL)
• Amehcan Studies
• Gerontology
• Graphic Design and Communication
• Public Administration
• Software Technical Writing
• Song Writing
• Speech Communication
• Writing
Except for ASL, which must be taken in resi-
dence, each certificate program permits limited
transfer credit. For Information about all University
College certificate programs, as well as course
listings for each of ttie above, see pages 131-
141.
Distribution Requirements
For the purpose of satisfying the distribution re-
quirements as specified under the individual lib-
eral arts majors, select from the following:
Math-Science includes only courses in biology
(BIO. . .), chemistry (CHM. . .), earth science
(ESC. . .), mathematics (MTH. . .), physics
(PHY. . .), and psychology lab courses (PSY. . .).
Humanities includes only courses in art
(ART. . .), American Sign Language (ASL. . .), En-
glish (ENG. . .), journalism (JRN. . .), library sys-
tems (LIB. . .), modern languages (LNA. . . to
LNS. . .), philosophy (PHL. . .), speech commu-
nication (SPC. . .), technical communications
(TCC. . .), and theater arts (DRA. . .).
Social Sciences includes only courses in eco-
nomics (ECN. . .), history (HST. . .), political sci-
ence (POL. . .), psychology (except laboratory
courses) (PSY. . .), and sociology-anthropology
(SOA. . . and SOC. . .).
108 Liberal Arts
English Requirement The nine quarter hours
of required English (ENG 41 1 0, ENG 4111, ENG
4112) must be taken prior to enrollnnent. These
courses cannot be used to satisfy distribution re-
quirements in any liberal arts course of study.
Directed Study
Students may be eligible to enroll in a maximum
of two directed study courses in a liberal arts
major. The directed study is intended primarily for
the senior who is unable to take a course needed
for graduation because of circumstances beyond
his or her control (e.g., the course was not avail-
able during the student's tenure in University Col-
lege). Such students should contact the program
office for a petition to establish advanced student
status. Please refer to course descriptions for
more detailed information.
Honors Program
An upperclass honors program enables superior
students to pursue studies in their major fields in
greater depth than is possible in the regular
courses.
The nature of the program is determined by the
academic department concerned. Programs may
involve special research projects culminating in
honor theses, seminars, reading projects, di-
rected independent study, or creative work. Flex-
ibility is the keynote, with every consideration
given to the individual needs and requirements
of the student. Honors advisers are chosen from
the faculty of the department concerned.
Students who have earned 96 quarter hours of
credit toward their bachelor's degree and who
have a grade point average of 3.0 or better are
eligible to apply to the Director of Liberal Arts in
University College for admission to the program.
Credit for Noncollegiate Experience (NCE)
Liberal arts degree candidates may obtain up to
16 quarter hours of noncollegiate experience
credit (NCE) in all liberal arts areas except graph-
ics, technical communications, and modern lan-
guages.
Whenever possible, NCE should be used as a
substitute for specific liberal arts courses (for ex-
ample, substituting NCE in PubJic Speaking for
SPC 4101). When a specific course is deemed
critical to the academic soundness of the major,
a student may be asked to take the course but
may, in addition, receive NCE credit in the subject
area in which he or she has acquired special
knowledge.
To apply for NCE credit, a student must file a
petition listing the relevant courses, reasons for
which credit should be received, and if appro-
priate, attaching any materials that might serve
as documentation.
Notification of acceptance or rejection of the
petition will be issued by the Office of Academic
and Student Affairs, as directed by the Director
of Liberal Arts, with the advice of the concerned
departmental consultant(s). The latter will deter-
mine whether the petitioner's NCE is equivalent
to the course listings as claimed. Criteria for such
evaluation may or may not include a formal ex-
amination, an interview, departmental consulta-
tion, or a request for additional documentation.
If positive action is taken on the petition, the
resulting NCE credits may be applied toward a
bachelor's degree. However, students should be
aware of certain constraints. To have NCE credit
counted to qualify for a given June graduation,
the petition must be filed at least six months prior
to the commencement date. NCE cannot be used
to fulfill residence requirements. NCE credit can-
not be given for courses that can be accredited
through the CLEP testing program at the time of
the petition. Grades will not be assigned to NCE
credits. It is possible that NCE credit may be
applicable toward a degree in University College
only.
Field Work Courses
To provide the opportunity for students to apply
their academic background to practical prob-
lems, several departments have introduced
courses in their curricula entitled "Field Work
In. . . ." Field Work guidelines are available in 204
Churchill Hall.
Liberal Arts 109
Acceptance of University College Credits
by Northeastern's Basic College of Arts
and Sciences
The College of Arts and Sciences, one of the
basic (day) colleges of Northeastern University,
permits its students to enroll for credit in courses
in University College when they are pertinent to
the student's program and have been approved
by the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences.
The credits for such courses may be applied to
the total number of credits needed for graduation,
to satisfy distribution requirements, and/or to fulfill
language and major deficiencies.
Credits from University College, as well as
those from other accredited institutions, may not
be applied to the quality point average of stu-
dents in the College of Arts and Sciences except
when such credits are from courses taken as
substitutes for those College of Arts and Sciences
courses failed by students. In such instances,
students must receive a grade of C or better in
the University College courses and then only 2.0
quality points are applied to the student's record
for each course. Courses taken in University Col-
lege that are not offered in the College of Arts
and Sciences may be transferred with the full
grade upon approval of the major department as
well as the Dean of the College of Arts and Sci-
ences.

Certificate Programs
131
Many persons who enroll in University College
are seeking specific, job-related skills rather than
the traditional course sequence of a degree pro-
grann. To help meet such educational needs, Uni-
versity College offers a variety of certificate
programs in business, law enforcement, and lib-
eral arts.
Certificate programs in University College are
designed for:
• students planning to complete an associate de-
gree but who first want to acquire the market-
able skills offered in certificate programs
• individuals seeking an intensive course of study
in a discipline but who do not wish to acquire
a degree
• individuals already holding a degree but who
wish to acquire a specialized body of knowl-
edge for career change or professional devel-
opment.
All certificate programs, except American Sign
Language, are designed so that transfer into a
related degree program is possible. In addition,
a limited amount of transfer credit for introductory
courses taken at another college or university
may be applied toward fulfilling the requirements
for a certificate. Transfer students who have al-
ready completed upper-level courses that dupli-
cate those required for a particular certificate may
complete the certificate in question by substitut-
ing other upper-level courses in the same or a
related discipline. The number of transfer credits
permitted varies by certificate. Therefore, please
check the curriculum for the individual certificate
in which you are interested.
An individual may be awarded only two certif-
icates. These certificates may be in related or
totally distinct subject areas. Students who
choose to complete a second certificate in a sub-
ject area that is related to their first certificate will
often find that the two certificate programs have
certain courses in common. In no instance, how-
ever, will a second certificate be awarded if more
than 50 percent of the course work applicable to
that certificate has already been used to fulfill the
requirements for a first certificate.
Students who are already pursuing an associ-
ate or bachelor's degree in a specialized aca-
demic area should not complete a certificate
program in the same area. Instead, degree stu-
dents are encouraged to use a certificate pro-
gram to acquire job-related skills in an area not
covered in depth by the requirements of their
major.
On occasion, students may have good reasons
for requesting permission to replace a required
course in a certificate program with a substitute
course. Permission to substitute a course must
be granted by the appropriate program office.
Students should submit a completed Petition for
Course Substitution and Waivers to the appropri-
ate program office. Petitions are available in 102
Churchill Hall on the Boston campus and at all
branch campus offices.
All course credits used to fulfill the require-
ments for a certificate program must reflect aca-
demic work completed within five years prior to
the date on which the certificate is awarded.
Upon completion of a certificate program, stu-
dents must submit a petition requesting a certifi-
cate. Petitions are available in 102 Churchill Hall
or at the administrative offices at any branch cam-
pus. For further information concerning a partic-
ular certificate program, please call the telephone
number listed with that program.

142 Alternative Freshman-Year Program
Alternative Freshman-Year Program
Program Goals
Faculty and Resources
Students in the Alternative Freshman-Year Pro-
gram are considered regular students and are
degree candidates with an undeclared major. The
Alternative Freshman-Year Program is specifically
designed to help students strengthen their basic
academic skills in writing as well as mathematics.
While helping them gain confidence in their ability
to do college-level work, the program also offers
them an opportunity to consider several different
areas of study before committing themselves to
a specific major. Through the combination of a
carefully prescribed curriculum and the attention
of professional counselors, each student is
helped to establish a program suited to his or her
individual needs. These same counselors are nor-
mally available on a continuing basis throughout
the student's entire freshman year.
Program Structure
Students in the Alternative Freshman-Year Pro-
gram begin with 10-14 quarter hours of credit in
their first academic quarter. In their second and
third quarters, students accelerate their sched-
ules of course work to take 14-16 and 16-17
quarter hours of credit respectively. Students in
the health sciences track complete the Alternative
Freshman-Year Program with a fourth quarter of
17 quarter hours of credit.
After completing the prescribed Alternative
Freshman-Year Program and achieving both a
cumulative quality-point average of 1.400 or bet-
ter and specific program requirements as noted,
students may generally continue their degree
programs within University College, or transfer,
with sophomore status, to any program in the
College of Business Administration or the College
of Criminal Justice, as well as certain nonscience
programs in the Boston-Bouve College of Human
Development Professions and the College of Arts
and Sciences. In addition to the cumulative qual-
ity-point average of 1.400 or better, the College
of Business Administration requires a 1.800 av-
erage in five key courses, namely, MTH 1113,
ENG 4013, ENG 4014, ECN 4601 , and MGT41 10.
Additional program requirements for students de-
siring to be admitted to sophomore status in the
College of Pharmacy and Allied Health Profes-
sions are listed in the Student Handbook for Basic
Colleges.
The University has carefully selected for the Al-
ternative Freshman-Year Program faculty mem-
bers who are aware of individual student goals
as well as the needs of students working to adjust
to a college program. Faculty and students meet
in small classes of not more than 25 students.
As members of the program, students are con-
sidered regular Northeastern University day stu-
dents even though they have unique schedules
and a distinctively tailored curriculum. Therefore,
they generally have access to all counseling ser-
vices, physical education facilities, dormitory ar-
rangements, and extracurricular programs at the
University's main campus in Boston.
Alternative Freshman-Year students are en-
couraged to make extensive use of the up-to-date
programmed learning resources available for
self-instruction through Northeastern's Learning
Resources Center on the Boston campus. For
additional assistance, Alternative Freshmen are
also frequently referred to the Academic Assis-
tance Center and/or the Math/Writing Center on
the Boston campus. A third and very important
resource, the Counseling and Testing Center, is
also available to students on both the Boston and
Burlington campuses for personal and academic
counseling, as well as for vocational testing and
counseling.
Tuition and Fees
Tuition and fees for the Alternative Freshman-Year
Program are the same as for students in the Basic
Colleges. Payment of the standard tuition during
the first three academic quarters of residence
entitles students to 48 credit hours of instruction.
Thus, those who take the 40 programmed credits
are entitled to an eight-quarter-hour tuition ad-
justment at the regular freshman rate.

man-Year Program, or to request an application,

training as computer systems specialists. In-
tended for students who are interested in entry-
level programming positions in business and in-
dustry, the program is structured to help meet the
career goals of individuals who presently have
minimal or no academic or work-related back-
ground in computer programming. Students who
successfully complete the program will receive a
Certificate in Programming.
Admission College Board Examinations are not
required for admission. For purposes of evalua-
tion for admission, however, a computer-pro-

screening process. Enrollment is limited. This
program will be offered only if a sufficient number
of qualified candidates applies.
Days, Dates, Times, and Places The program
is scheduled twice during the academic year, in
the fall and spring quarters. Classes are sched-
uled for 30 weekends: on Fridays, from 6 to 10
p.m., and all day Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 5:30
p.m. Sections offered alternate among the Bos-
ton, Burlington, and Dedham campuses.

dents satisfactorily completing the program will
also receive a Certificate in Programming.
Placement Assistance
Although job placement is not guaranteed, most
students who successfully complete the program
find suitable employment. Specific placement
services include individual counseling; job-
search seminars on career opportunities, self-
assessment, resume preparation, and interview-
ing skills; and resume referrals to employers.

Delivery of Services
The University assumes no liability, and hereby expressly negates the same, for failure to provide or delay in
providing educational or related services or facilities or for any other failure or delay in performance arising out
of or due to causes beyond the reasonable control of the University, w/hich causes include, without limitation,
power failure, fire, strikes by University employees or others, damage by the elements and acts of public
authorities. The University will, however, exert reasonable efforts, when in its judgment it is appropriate to do so,
to provide comparable or substantially equivalent services, facilities or performance, but its inability or failure to
do so shall not subject it to liability.
The Northeastern University catalog contains current information regarding the University calendar, admis-
sions, degree requirements, fees, and regulations, and such information is not intended to be and should not be
relied upon as a statement of the University's contractual undertakings.
Northeastern University reserves the right in its sole judgment to promulgate and change rules and regulations
and to make changes of any nature in its program, calendar, admissions policies, procedures and standards,
degree requirements, fees, and academic schedule whenever it is deemed necessary or desirable, including,
without limitation, changes in course content, the rescheduling of classes, cancelling of scheduled classes and
other academic activities and requiring or affording alternatives for scheduled classes or other academic
activities, in any such case giving such notice as is reasonably practicable under the circumstances.
Northeastern will do its best to make available to you the finest education, the most stimulating atmosphere and
the most congenial conditions it can provide. But the quality and the rate of progress of your academic career is
in large measure dependent upon your own abilities, commitment, and effort. This is equally true with respect to
professional advancement upon completion of the degree or program in which you are enrolled. The University
cannot guarantee that you will obtain or succeed at any particular job; that will depend upon your own skills,
achievement, presentation, and other factors such as market conditions at that time. Similarly in many
professions and occupations there are increasing requirements imposed by federal and state statutes and
regulatory agencies for certification or entry into a particular field. These may change during the period of time
when you are at Northeastern and they may vary from state to state and from country to country. While the
University stands ready to help you find out about these requirements and changes, it is your responsibility to
initiate the inquiry because the University has no other way of knowing what your expectations and understand-
ings are.
In brief, the University is there to offer you educational opportunities and choices and to assist you in finding the
direction in which you want to steer your educational experience. But you are a partner in this venture with an
obligation and responsibility to yourself.
Antidiscrimination Policy
Northeastern University is committed to a policy of equal opportunity for all students and employees without
regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual preference, national origin, or handicap or veteran status. The
University prohibits discrimination in all matters involving admission, registration, and all official relationships
with students, including evaluation of academic performance.
Equal Opportunity Employment Policy
Northeastern University is an equal opportunity employer It is institutional policy that there shall be no
discrimination against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, religion, sex, age,
national origin, or handicap or veteran status.
Northeastern also prohibits discrimination against any employee regarding upgrading, demotion or transfer,
layoff or termination, rates of pay or other forms of compensation, and selection for training. In addition.
Northeastern adheres to Affirmative Action guidelines in all recruitment endeavors.
Further, Northeastern will not condone any forms of sexual harassment which is defined as the use of
unwelcome sexual advances, requests for favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature: as an
explicit or implicit condition of employment, as the basis for employment decisions or to interfere with an
individual's work performance by creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work environment.
Inquiries concerning our equal opportunity policies may be referred to the University Title IX Coordinator/
Compliance Officer for Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Affirmative Action Office, Richards Hail.
Telephone 617-437-2133.

College of Arts and Sciences / 1
College of Arts and Sciences
The College of Arts and Sciences offers students programs leading to two degrees in most majors: the Bachelor
of Arts and the Bachelor of Science. Degree requirements for the options in each major are listed on the
following pages. In addition to these requirements specified by the major department, the college has estab-
lished certain minimum graduation requirements for its students. They are as follows:
Quantitative: Candidates for either the Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree who entered in or
after the fall quarter of 1 974 must successfully complete 1 76 quarter hours of credit, of which 32 quarter
hours may be taken outside the College of Arts and Sciences. In addition, only four quarter hours of
Physical Education and no ROTC credits may be used to meet this requirement.
Residency: Candidates must complete either 75 percent of the degree credit or the last three full quarters (a
minimum of twelve full courses) at Northeastern.
Qualitative: Candidates must achieve a minimum cumulative average of 2.0 (grade of C).
Other Degree Requirements
Modern Foreign Language
All candidates for the Bachelor of Arts degree must attain the level of proficiency in a modern language
indicated by either a passing grade at the intermediate level of a college language course or by meeting a
comparable criterion approved by the Modern Languages Department. Please note American Sign Language
does not fulfill this requirement.
A conditional exemption from this requirement may be granted to:
1) Students who earned an average grade of C or better in a full, four-year language sequence in
secondary school or
2) Students who earned an average grade of A in a three-year language sequence in secondary school.
A conditional exemption must be confirmed by taking a proficiency examination during the student's first
quarter at the University. A sufficiently high score will verify the exemption; otherwise the student will be advised
to enroll in an appropriate language course in the following quarter
An absolute exemption will be granted to students:
1) For whom English is a foreign language;
2) Who receive a score of 550 or better in a CEEB language achievement examination.
Students who have not met the foreign language requirement at the time of entrance will register for courses
appropriate to the scope and level of prior study The normal sequence for students with no prior preparation is
two quarters of elementary-level language and two quarters of intermediate-level language. The Modern
Languages Department will determine an appropriate entry point at which students who have partial language
preparation may begin completing the requiement.
The following requirements are effective for all students who entered prior to the Fall of 1 984 and upperclass
transfer students who entered prior to the Fall of 1985:
The Distribution Requirement: The Distribution Requirement is required of Bachelor of Arts candidates in all
programs. Very generally, it involves taking ten courses (or forty quarter hours) of courses outside of the
major area. For full details on this requirement, consult the Arts and Sciences Student Guidebook, which is
available in the Dean's Office, 400 Meserve Hall.
Freshman English: All degree candidates must successfully complete one or two quarters of Freshman
Composition (depending on test placement results) and one quarter of Introduction to Literature.
The following requirements are effective for all freshmen who entered in or after the Fall of 1984 and all other
students who enter in the Fall of 1 985 or after:
The Core Curriculum: This requirement replaces the former Freshman English and Distribution described
above. Depending upon whether a student is a candidate for a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Science, a
certain number of courses must be taken in each of the following categories.
I) Basic Skills (Quantitative and Communicative)
II) Methods of Inquiry
III) The Western Cultural Heritage
IV) Alternative Cultures and Societies
2 / College of Arts and Sciences
V) Theoretical Perspectives and Changes
VI) Current Issues in Perspective
Please note that courses which count in the above categories have the appropriate roman numeral at the end of
their course descriptions in the follow/ing pages.
African-American Studies
Bachelor of Arts
Bachelor of Science
Minor in African-American
Studies
A major in African-American Studies offers background for a wide range of
professions calling for understanding of intergroup relations and the minority
experience. Students may go on to graduate study in such areas as social work,
sociology education, law, business, history, or the humanities.
Students majoring in African-American Studies may earn either the Bachelor of
Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree. All majors are required to take the
following set of courses.
AFR 1 1 61 Economic Issues in Minority Communities
APR 1280 Black Psychological Identity
AFR 1 353 Research
AFR 1 300 Directed Study
AFR 1121 African-American Literature
AFR 1240 Contemporary Issues in Black Society
AFR 1 1 93 Africa Today
AFR 1 131 African-American History
AFR 1 1 71 Survey of Black Political Movements
AFR 1248 Race Relations in America
Faculty advisers work with students to help them select one or more "concentra-
tion clusters" (as described below) in African-American Studies to fulfill the
distribution requirements for the Bachelor of Arts degree or the career-package
program for the Bachelor of Science degree.
A minor in African-American Studies is designed to meet the needs of students
who major in other areas but have special interest in African-American Studies. To
qualify for a minor, a student must earn 28 quarter-hour credits in the field, 1 2 of
which must be from the set of courses required for majors. The remaining credits
will be a concentration cluster arranged in consultation with a student's faculty
adviser
A concentration cluster is a set of four courses that focuses on a given aspect of
African-American Studies. A cluster might focus on sociology-psychology history,
humanities, human service, research, or other areas related to the student's
educational or career needs. Concentration clusters are arranged in consulta-
tions between the student and a faculty adviser

Basic College Compensatory Programs for 1985-1986 / 63
* Graded pass/fail and therefore not included in the student's quality-point average.
t Freshmen in the College of Criminal Justice are not required to take a mathematics course in the fresh-
man year. They canceled, however, to take MTH1000 or MTH1010 to prepare themselves for Fundamen-
tals of Mathematics* MTH1 106 as upperclassmen.
$ Although the Colleges of Engineering and Computer Science do not allow MTH1000 or MTH1010 to be
taken for academic credit, they do offer a special course sequence in college calculus with algebra
and trigonometry (MTH1120 and MTH1121) for engineering freshmen judged to have deficiencies in
mathematics. The courses involve extra hours of work but cover the same material as the regular fresh-
man calculus sequence in the College of Engineering.
§ Although the College of Pharmacy and Allied Health professions does allow ENG1013 to appear on the
permanent record, it will only allow ENG1014 for credit. Students completing the ENG1013-ENG1014
sequence will have to make up the four-credit elective which was displaced by ENG1013.

LNF 1 550 Introduction to Film Analysis .4 Q.H.
The course's major goal is the cultivation of critical
skills in analyzing the film medium, enabling students
to spot and articulate ways in which film shapes their
experience. The course will be presented in three
units: Film Form, Narrative Form, and Film Style. Form,
and its most prevalent manifestation, narrative form,
can be said to be the way in which the parts of a film
are related to one another to create a whole. Style,
including mise-en-scene, cinematography editing,
and sound, will be studied in relation to audience
expectations and the constitutive role of film form. The
course will be organized around weekly film screen-
ings and individual study of films put on reserve in the
Video section of the Learning Resource Center of
Dodge Library
LNF 1 551 Introduction to Rim Theory 4 Q.H.
The purpose of the course is to help students become
aware of the many factors involved in the film's com-
munication of a "message." The methodology of the
course will be based on "semiotics," which seeks to
reveal the meaning of film through close analysis of
the text. By integrating historical and psychoanalytic
approaches to the semiotic model, the course will
also stress the relativity of interpretative results.
Through a variety of readings, students will be exposed
to a number of views that will equip them to be open
minded about deciding what a film means. Weekly film
screenings will contrast a Hollywood film with a
European film for the purpose of analysis.
LNF 1 560 nim and Psychoanalysis 4 Q.H.
This course will explore the nature and possibilities of
the psychoanalytic interpretation of film. The course
will demonstrate that such an approach offers an
additional dimension to the analysis of a work of art.
The principal focus will be on elements in the work
that are derivative of unconscious processes. Thus,
fantasies, dreams, symbolism, and imagery will be
given special attention. Material in the works studied
that relates to neurotic conflicts, character structure
and formation, interpersonal relationships and distor-
tions in psychological development will be brought
into the discussion. Weekly film screenings will be
accompanied by lectures and discussions; each
student will select one film (placed on reserve in the
Learning Resources Center of Dodge Library) for an
in-depth study on a topic of his or her choice.

PHL 1 1 00 Introduction to Philosophy 4 Q.H.
The course seeks to introduce students to philosophy
by acquainting them with the theories and arguments
of classical and contemporary philosophers and by
teaching the skills of constructing and analyzing argu-
ments. Students both learn about and engage in
philosophical inquiry. While not all sections treat the
same issues, typical areas covered include questions
about the basis of morality, free will versus determin-
ism, the existence of God, the problem of suffering,
and the nature of knowledge. (II)
PHL 11 1 0 Introduction to Religion 4 Q.H.
This course seeks to identify and appraise different
ways of being religious: primitive, mystical, dogmatic,
and ritual. Emphasis is placed upon appreciating the
unique standpoint that each requires, how each sees
the world in a radically different way, and how that
leads to distinctive ways of life. (II)
PHL 1115 Understanding Religious Man 4 Q.H.
This course examines several important explanations
of the nature, origin, and present significance of reli-
gious experience, beliefs, and practices in the light of
modern knowledge and attitudes.
PHL 1 1 30 Ethics: East and West 4 Q.H.
Is there a best way to live? Is there a way a human
being should live? In both Eastern and Western phi-
losophy there are claims that a way of life exists that
leads to happiness, power, and wisdom. This course
explores this claim by studying the thought of such
philosophers as Socrates, Buddha, Plato, Aristotle,
Lao Tzu, Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius, Aquinas, and
Spinoza, as well as by studying some of the classical
Hindu and Buddhist texts.
PHL 1 135 Philosophical Problems of Law and
Justice 4 Q.H.
This course focuses on two general questions: What
is the proper scope of the law? And how should the
law be enforced? Under the first question, a number
of issues are dealt with: whether the law has a legiti-
mate right to restrict such activities as the use of
drugs, deviant sexual practices, or gambling. Topics
included in the second question are the justification
of punishment, rehabilitation as an alternative to pun-
ishment, and the death penalty.
PHL 1 1 40 Social and Political Philosophy 4 Q.H.
(Prereq. 4 Q.H. philosophy)
A consideration of basic questions about the nature of

laws of the state? What conditions must a government
meet to be legitimate? What justification can be given
for democratic forms of government? What sorts of
controls should the state exert over citizens? What
benefits do citizens have a right to expect from !he
state? Readings will include both classical and con-
temporary sources. (V)
PHL 1 1 45 Technology and Human Values 4 Q.H.
The course examines the changing values of the
modern, technologically advanced world. Our study
attempts to increase our understanding of the sup-
posed breach between the literary and scientific
cultures, the diverse approaches toward their rec-
onciliation, and the human dimensions of science
and technology Other relevant topics are the neu-
trality of technology with respect to good or evil uses,
technology as an instrument for human liberation,
and the issue of proper and effective modes of con-
trolling technology in today's world. Pirsig's widely
read paperback, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Main-
tenance, is studied, as is Lynn White's Dynamo and
Virgin Reconsidered. Other important writers to be
considered include Kurt Baler, Jacob Bronowski, Barry
Commoner, Erich Fromm, Karl Marx, and C. P Snow.
(VI)
PHL 1 1 50 Technology and the Individual 4 Q.H.
This introductory course attempts to awaken some
philosophical reflectiveness regarding the potential
bene/its and threats to*individuals that derive from
technological change. The course explores and
discusses such issues as the relation of technology to
human freedom and privacy, the effects of "future
shock" upon the individual, the possibility of the
tyranny of a technological elite, and the prospects for
the transformation of humankind. Some writers see
technology as the salvation of humanity; others see
technology leading to dehumanization, a decrease of
freedom, and a developing sense of alienation; still
others see the extinction of "human nature" as we
once knew it. Where is the truth in all of this? What are
the social, psychological, and philosophical meanings
and consequences of technological change in our
day and in the future? Some of the major readings for
the course are from Alvin Toffler's Future Shock, Herbert
Marcuse's One Dimensional Man, Jacques Ellul's
important criticism The Technological Society, and
Lewis Mumford's The Transformation of Man.
PHL 1155 The Ethics of Human and Animal
Experimentation 4 Q.H.
This course explores the conflicts that arise between
the value of free scientific inquiry on the one hand,
and the rights, vulnerabilities, and suffering of human
and animal subjects on the other Topics include
traditional issues involving informed consent, volun-
Philosophy and Religion / 1 49
tariness, coercion, experimental design, risk-benefit
analyses, institutional review boards, and professional
guidelines, as well as such less traditional issues as
the competing conceptions of progress, whether we
have obligations to nonhuman animals, and what, if
anything, justifies us in treating nonhuman animals in
ways in which we know we should not treat human
animals.
PHL 11 60 Ethical Issues of Taxation 4 Q.H.
Although we tend to believe that persons have a right
to their own labor, a right to their own property, and a
right to exchange their labor or property for the labor
or property of other consenting adults, it seems that
income taxes, property taxes, and sales taxes violate
these rights. This course explores two basic ques-
tions: Is any taxation morally justified? Are there moral
grounds for choosing among taxation policies? Speci-
fic topics include competing conceptions of private
property; the "progressive versus regressive taxation"
controversy; the "flat tax" controversy; the alleged
problems with interpersonal utility comparisons; and
questions involving the distribution of tax monies,
e.g., whether those who have more than they need
have any moral obligation to provide for the needs of
the poor
PHL 1 1 65 Moral Problems in Medicine 4 Q.H.
This course examines two fundamental ethical sys-
tems, one of which is grounded on the dignity of the
person, the other on the intrinsic value of happiness.
The course then explores the difficult issues of eutha-
nasia, suicide, paternalism, medical experimentation,
the patient's right to consent to any therapeutic inter-
vention, and the concept of death with dignity. After
studying these and related moral issues, the larger
economic and policy issues of justice, some of which
are current in political debates, are examined (for
example: Is there a right to health care?). It is hoped
that this course will encourage the student to become
more sensitive to moral problems as they arise in
medical settings, better able to deal with these trou-
blesome issues, and perhaps to be more courageous
in facing them if that becomes necessary. The course
also offers an investigation into the questions of
abortion, euthanasia, infanticide, genetic counseling,
psychosurgery and human experimentation from the
standpoint of both philosophical ethics (such as the
theory of the end justifying the means) and religious
ethics (such as the natural law theory of the Roman
Catholic Church).

tification theory Relations between these systems
and natural language are considered. The course
covers analysis of the notion of derivation within a
system and the notion of logical consequence, and
practice in analyzing logical structure in natural
language sentences. (II)
PHL 1 225 Ancient Philosophy 4 Q.H.
An exploration of classical Greek philosophy the
course starts with a study/discussion of the roots of
Western thought in the sixth century B.C. and argues
the reasons for our debt to these original thinkers who
were concerned with explaining the principles of
external nature and the problems of human knowl-
edge and conduct. Central to understanding these
problems is the study of Socrates and his adversar-
ies, the Sophists, and the two major figures he influ-
enced: Plato and Aristotle. The course also covers
Roman philosophy the Stoics, and the Sceptics, who
are a prelude to the early Christian philosophers of
the first century A.D. Throughout the course, attention
is placed upon the interplay between the philosopher
and the moral, social, and religious context in which
his thought arises. Student participation in class dis-
cussion is very important to the course. (Ill)
PHL 1 230 Modern Philosophy 4 Q.H.
(Prereq. 8 Q.H. philosophy)
The 100 years between 1650 and 1750, sometimes
called "the century of genius," were a period in which
philosophers reacted to the new scientific discoveries
of Copernicus, Kepler, and Galileo. Out of this reaction
came new ways of thinking about the nature of knowl-
edge and the nature of the world itself. The course
focuses on the development of the rationalist and
empirical philosophies during this period, with em-
phasis on Descartes, Leibniz, Spinoza, Locke, Berkeley
and Hume. (Ill)
PHL 1243 Existentialism 4 Q.H.
(Prereq. 4 Q.H. philosophy)

representatives, such as Kierkegaard, Nietzsche,
Dostoevski, Heidegger, Jaspers, and Camus, with major
attention given to Jean-Paul Sartre and Maurice
Merleau-Ponty. The focus of this course will be on
central themes, including self-alienation, unauthen-
ticity authenticity, and existential experiences. Exis-
tential philosophy is examined in its historical, social,
and cultural relations, and in its influence on psychol-
ogy psychoanalysis, sociology political science, and
literature, both in Europe and in the United States.

on Confucianism, Taoism, and the / Ching. Less
emphasis will be placed on the Logicians, the Mohists,
and the Legalists. i
PHL 1 255 Indian Philosophy 4 Q.H.
In this course we examine the two classical Indian
philosophical systems of Hinduism and Buddhism. In
examining Theravada Buddhism, we explore the view
that it is possible for us to live without anxiety or
suffering if we overcome our ignorance of reality and
master our desires. Next, we turn to Mahayana
Buddhism, focusing on its ethics of compassion and
its related metaphysics of "voidness." In this part of
the course, we examine questions which, in the West,
are thought of as questions about personal identity
and the nature of the self. In exploring Hinduism, we
study Vedic mysticism as it comes to us through the
Upanishads, as well as the influential ethics of the
Bhagavad Gita. Among the philosophical issues that
arise in our examination of Hinduism is the question
of wheher the method of yoga and meditation is a
reasonable method for learning about the fundamen-
tal nature of reality.
While studying the classical texts of these systems,
we will critically explore the techniques employed
within these traditions: the method of yoga, the function
of the guru, various methods of meditation, the point
of non-violence, the function of philosophical analysis,
and the role of the austerities. In so doing, we study
Hinduism as it is currently practiced in India; Theravada
Buddhism as it is currently practiced in Sri Lanka and
Thailand; the Tibetan tradition of Mahayana Buddhism;
and the nonviolence of Gandhi.
To study Indian philosophy is to study a tradition of
philosophy in which ethics is not fragmented from
epistemology knowledge is more than justified true
belief, and one's metaphysics is to be realized. In our
study, besides the classical texts, we will employ films
and guest speakers.
PHL 1265 American Religions 4 Q.H.
This course will approach the American religious
tradition from thfee perspectives. First, we shall
examine the transplanted and transformed European
traditions in the context of American diversity and
pluralism. The Protestant, Roman Catholic, and Jewish
traditions will be the most significant examples.
Second, we shall look into the rise and establishment
of largely indigenous religious groups who have forged
their own foundations in the midst of the older tradi-
tions. Among others, the Mormons, the Hutterites, the
Mennonites, the perfectionist groups (such as the
older Oneida Community and the Shakers, and the
more recent "cults"), and the black and Native
American groups are especially significant because
of their attempts to survive apart from the general
culture. Third, we shall explore the theory of an
American civil religion— the notion that there is a
general religious meaning for American culture that
makes the coexistence of the many religious groups
possible and gives to that culture and its history a
religious significance. The purpose of the course will
be to achieve an understanding of what is unique and
viable in the American religious tradition.
PHL 1 270 Western Religions 4 Q.H.
Western religion is grounded in the experience of
God's presence, which transcends and transfigures
the life of the individual and the community. This
encounter is the essence of Judaism, Christianity, and
Islam. Drawing on autobiography and biography, this
course delves into the personal religious quests of
such major religious thinkers as St. Augustine, St.
Theresa, Martin Luther, Elie Wiesel, Richard Ruben-
stein, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and Mohammed.
PHL 1 275 Eastern Religions 4 Q.H.
Eastern religions appear to be fundamentally different
from the orthodox religions of the West Not only do
Hinduism, Buddhism, and Taoism promise a solution
to the problem of suffering (compare the common
Christian and Jewish attitudes), but most of these
religions do not have a central God personality, and
some explicitly reject such a concept as meaningless,
or at least as irrelevant to leading a religious life.
Central to these views is a way of being in the world
which emphasizes meditation, skillful and compas-
sionate action, and a direct awareness of the funda-
mental nature of reality. The course first tries to make
sense of the difficult notion that the way we perceive
reality may be illusory. It then examines Theravada
Buddhism, a religion that rests on the insights that
everything is impermanent and that it is possible to
live fully in the present without any suffering. From
Theravada Buddhism, the course turns to Hahayana
Buddhism, and then to Taoism, a subtle view that
emphasizes the "flow" of life and that "the way to do is
to be." Next, the Hinduism of the Upanishads is
examined. As part of the exploration of this form of
Hinduism, students are given the opportunity to
examine intellectually and also to practice a few
methods of meditation. In addition, the course inves-
tigates the devotional aspect of Hinduism as expressed
in the Bhagavad Gita. There will also be an exploration
of Zen. (IV)
PHL 1280 islam 4 Q.H.
The course explores the history of Islam, its conflicts
with the West in past and present. Islamic beliefs, the
future of Islam as a world religion, and relations of
Islam with Christianity and Judaism. Since Islamic
faith touches upon social, political, and legal issues,
the course is concerned with them as well as with the
more familiar religious and theological questions. (IV)
Philosophy and Religion / 1 51
PHL 1 290 Cults and Sects 4 Q.H.
This course offers an examination of the varieties of
religious experience from the perspectives of sociol-
ogy and psychology of religion. This course focuses
on such cultic and sectarian groups as Christian
Science, the American Shakers, the Unification
Church, the Hare Krishna movement, and the Black
Muslims. The primary purpose of this course is to
provide the student the opportunity to acquire critical
investigative tools with which to analyze different reli-
gious expressions. (Ill)
PHL 1 293 Mysticism: East and West 4 Q.H.
(Prereq. PHL 1 1 1 5 or permission of instructor)
The course offers an inquiry into mystical experience
through a comparative study of the writings of Chris-
tian, Buddhist, and Hindu mystics and of secondary
interpretive sources. Areas taken up are the potential
oneness of man and God, the conflict of mystics with
traditional forms of religion, and the possibility of a
common, cross-cultural basis for mysticism.
PHL 1295 Medicine, Religion, and the Healers' Art
4Q.H.
Thiscourseexploresaspectsofthehistorical, religious,
and cultural context for contemporary alternatives in
health care, beginning with an examination of several
examples of traditional healing practices and their
accompanying religious and philosophical views about
human life. Course material explores this "holistic"
tradition in two frames of reference: the ascendancy
of scientific rationalism over religion, and the takeover,
by male-dominated professions, of healing functions
that society has traditionally assigned to women (e.g.,
the rise of obstetrics and the suppression of midwife-
ry). Special attention is given to major women healers
of the nineteenth century. Course includes a look at
some contemporary efforts at reintegration of scien-
tific and traditional values in the modern health care
system. Students will also meet and interact with
patients and healers active in the modern holistic
health movement.
PHL 1300 Religion in a Social Context 4 Q.H.
This course offers an exploration of the social forms of
religion. The structures and roles of the church, syna-
gogue, and sect are described and critically evaluat-
ed. In addition, emphasis is given to their functions,
with reference to general social structure, process,
and reform.
PHL 1305 Religion in the Age of Science 4 Q.H.
This course examines the problems posed by the
interaction between religion and the natural and social
sciences. Representative selections from Hume, Dar-
win, Marx, Freud, Erickson, and Troeltsch are used to
interact with selections from Bultmann, Teilhard de
Chardin, Niebuhr, Bonhoeffer, and Tillich.
PHL 1 31 0 The Occult as Religion 4 Q.H.
The course focuses on the history, aims, and methods
of such esoteric or mystic doctrines as astrology
numerology, magic, demonism, and divination, and
investigates the structural similarities of these religious
forms to those of the dominant religious traditions of
the world.
PHL 1 31 5 Understanding the Bible 4 Q.H.
This course introduces students to the Old and New
Testaments, so that they may enter into a dialogue
with the Bible, understanding not only what it says, but
why it is said that way To do this, discussion focuses
on the Bible's social, political, and cultural back-
grounds. (Ill)
PHL 1 320 The Meaning of Death 4 Q.H.
This course offers an inquiry into different philo-
sophical and religious perspectives on death and life
after death, including an examination of some powerful
contemporary accounts of personal confrontation with
death, along with investigations into attitudes toward
death in other traditions (e.g., Hinduism and Budd-
hism). In addition, the course explores responses to
the Holocaust in Europe, and theories about life after
death (such as those discussed in Raymond Moody's
Life After Life and Ian Stevenson's Reincarnation). (V)
PHL 1325 Philosophy of Death, Grief, and Dying
4 Q.H.
This course explores fears about death and dying and
the grieving process, and examines the processes
people sometimes experience while dying. In addition,
the course examines current practices of caring for
the dying and of coping with bereavement, question-
ing whether these practices are, in fact, healthy, helpful,
and/or ethical. Other relevant ethical issues to be
examined include euthanasia, truth-telling with the
dying, suicide, and paternalism. The course will close
with the question of the meaning of life, given the fact
that we must die.
PHL 1 335 Moral Philosophy 4 Q.H.
(Prereq. 4 Q.H. philosophy or religion or permission of
instructor)
What sorts of things are good and bad? What actions
are right and wrong? These two basic questions are
explored. The course covers major classical concep-
tions of ancient Greece and Rome, their replacement
by the Western religious ethic, its modification and
rejection in the early modern period, and the emer-
gence of modern versions of traditional conceptions
of the good life, with reflections on the nature of ethical
inquiry itself as a legitimate study
PHL 1 340 Aesthetics 4 Q.H.
(Prereq. 4 Q.H. philosophy)
This course offers a historical approach to aesthetics.
Aesthetics is the philosophical analysis of concepts
and the solution of problems that arise when one
contemplates beautiful (or ugly) objects; it is also
concerned with standards of value in judging art.
Aesthetics asks the following questions: What features
make objects beautiful (or ugly)? Are there aesthetic
standards? What is the relation of works of art to
nature? What is the nature of an aesthetic experience?
PHL 1 345 Philosophy of Religion 4 Q.H.
(Prereq. 4 Q.H. philosophy)
The basic question in this course is "Does God exist?"
152 / Philosophy and Religion
The course examines several major arguments affirm-
ing and criticizing the notion of God's existence. A
central problem in recent philosophy of religion is
whether or not it makes any sense to speak of the truth
(or falsity) of religious belief, as well as the implication
an answer to that issue has for religious life; this topic
will be examined in the latter half of the course.
PHL 1350 Philosophy of Human Nature 4 Q.H.
The course offers a philosophical inquiry into the
theories of man, man's dimensions, and human nature.
The question of the existence of human nature is
thoroughly examined. Special interest will be given to
contemporary theories of man and self-alienation,
and their influence in social sciences. Selected
readings from Descartes, Hobbes, Hegel, Marx, Kier-
kegaard, Maritain, Freud, Skinner, Fromm, and Frankl.
PHL 1355 Existentialism and Literature 4 Q.H.
After World Wars I and II, existentialist philosophy
inspired the literature of "extreme situations." This
course examines human extreme experiences in exis-
tentialist philosophy and novels. Some of the major
themes are loneliness; self-alienation; social pres-
sures; conformity; absurdity; anxiety; social, political,
and moral crises; nothingness; and death. Selected
readings will include the most influential European
and American authors.

the opportunity to learn to recognize, appreciate, and
criticize philosophical themes in literature. The read-
ings typically include acknowledged classics by phil-
osophical authors such as Voltaire, Dostoevski, and
Sartre, as well as such popular contemporary authors
as Vonnegut, Barth, and Pynchon. There are also
some readings from more straightforward philosoph-
ical sources. Philosophical topics include the meaning
of life, the human condition, depersonalization, alien-
ation, human freedom, questions of value, responsi-
bility, rationality and personal identity. Religious,
nihilistic, existential, and other points of view are
explored.

Koestler, Pearls, Sartre, Merleau-Ponty, and Kovaly
PHL 1 400 Theory of Knowledge 4 Q.H.
(Prereq. 4 Q.H. philosophy or permission of instruc-
tor)
This is an introduction to epistemology or theory of
knowledge, which asks the following questions: What
is knowledge? Is knowledge (or even certainty) attain-
able? What are the limitations of human knowledge?
How is knowledge-if we have it-acquired? What
roles do reason and experience play in the attempt to
attain knowledge? This course uses both classical
(Rene Descartes and David Hume) and contemporary
sources (Bertrand Russell and others). Various
theories of knowledge, such as empiricism, rational-
ism, and scepticism, are examined and criticized. The
student is encouraged to form at least tentative
opinions on these issues.
PHL 1 405 Metaphysics 4 Q.H.
(Prereq. 8 Q.H. philosophy)

Chomsky's and those arising from computer studies.
PHL 1 435 Philosophy of Mind 4 Q.H.
(Prereq. 4 Q.H. philosophy)
What is the relation between mind and body? Is the
mental merely a function of bodily process and
behavior or does it somehow exist "over and above"
the material? How are self-knowledge and knowledge
of other minds achieved? What is the relation between
words and thoughts? This course in part, seeks to
show what puzdes and problems result from an honest
attempt to answer these questions in a reasonable
Physics / 1 53
way. Classical sources, such as Descartes and Locke,
and contemporary sources, such as Wittgenstein and
Putnam, are examined. But the course also seeks to
arrive at some answers— however tentative or pro-
visional—to these questions. The student is constantly
challenged to think and write well about these difficult
subjects.
PHL 1 440 Philosophy of Language 4 Q.H.
(Prereq. Permission of instructor)

PHL 1 565 Seminar in Wittgenstein 4 Q.H.
(Prereq. 8 Q.H. philosophy or permission of instructor)
Ludwig Wittgenstein is one of the most influential, if
not the most influential, philosophers of the twentieth
century. A mysterious yet charismatic figure, he pos-
sessed both analytic genius and the creativity of a
visionary. With unparalleled intensity, he addressed
himself to philosophical problems. What is the rela-
tionship between language and the world? Are there
thoughts "too deep" for words? What, if anything, can
be said about the mystical, the beautiful, and the
religious? What is consciousness and what is its role
in action? What are the big, simple, mistaken ideas
that cripple the philosophical enterprise? How should
philosophers proceed? What is meaningful? Wittgen-
stein's thought is so unique that it cannot be said that
any other course, or courses, in Philosophy will prepare
the student for it. On the other hand, intelligent students
with little formal preparation can profit from a study of
Wittgenstein, given the proper dedication to truth.
PHL 1 800 Directed Studies 4 Q.H.

setting. Course begins with exploration of the two
basic systems of ethical theory and then concen-
trates on their application in cases exemplifying the
issues of euthanasia, paternalism, experimentation,
informed consent, quality of life, professional respon-
sibility, right to health care, truth telling, genetic con-
trol, abortion, and the allocation of scarce medical
resources.
INT 1400 Professional Practices: Individual and
Social Dimensions 4 Q.H.
The course explores the dimensions and dilemmas of
freedom and responsibility confronting professional
people practicing within the limits set by socioeco-
nomic conditions, clients, and other professionals.
Case histories are examined to illustrate the dilemmas
professionals face, the choices that are typically made,
and the consequences these have on the freedom of
the practitioner and on personal and professional
integrity.

Delivery of Services
The University assumes no liability, and hereby expressly negates the same, for failure
to provide or delay in providing educational or related services or facilities or for any
other failure or delay in performance arising out of or due to causes beyond the
reasonable control of the University, which causes include, without limitation, power,
failure, fire, strikes by University employees or others, damage by the elements and
acts of public authorities. The University will, however, exert reasonable efforts, when
in its judgment it is appropriate to do so, to provide comparable or substantially
equivalent services, facilities or performance, but its inability or failure to do so shall
not subject it to liability.
The Northeastern University catalog contains current information regarding the Uni-
versity calendar, admissions, degree requirements, fees, and regulations, and such
information is not intended to be and should not be relied upon as a statement of the
University's contractual undertakings.
Northeastern University reserves the right in its sole judgment to promulgate and
change rules and regulations and to make changes of any nature in its program,
calendar, admissions policies, procedures and standards, degree requirements, fees,
and academic schedule whenever it is deemed necessary or desirable, including,
without limitation, changes in course content, the rescheduling of classes, cancelling
of scheduled classes and other academic activities and requiring or affording alter-
natives for scheduled classes or other academic activities, in any such case giving
such notice as is reasonably practicable under the circumstances.
Northeastern will do its best to make available to you the finest education, the most
stimulating atmosphere and the most congenial conditions it can provide. But the
quality and the rate of progress of your academic career is in large measure dependent
upon your own abilities, commitment, and effort. This is equally true with respect to
professional advancement upon completion of the degree or program in which you
are enrolled. The University cannot guarantee that you will obtain or succeed at any
particular job; that will depend upon your own skills, achievement, presentation and
other factors such as market conditions at that time. Similarly, in many professions
and occupations there are increasing requirements imposed by federal and state
statutes and regulatory agencies for certification or entry into a particular field. These
may change during the period of time when you are at Northeastern and they may
vary from state to state and from country to country. While the University stands ready
to help you find out about these requirements and changes, it is your responsibility
to initiate the inquiry because the University has no other way of knowing what your
expectations and understandings are.
In brief, the University is there to offer you educational opportunities and choices and
to assist you in finding the direction in which you want to steer your educational
experience, but you are a partner in this venture with an obligation and responsibility
to yourself.

and employees without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual preference, national

including evaluation of academic performance.
Equal Opportunity Employment Policy

there shall be no discrimination against any employee or applicant for employment
because of race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, or handicap or veteran status.

ENG 3358 Topics in Nonfiction Prose
This course will examine writings in nonfiction prose
in such areas as biography, history, science, and
technology. The content of the course will vary ac-
cording to the design of the instructor.
If the course is given as an elective primarily for
students in the Master of Technical and Professional
Writing program, it should include science writing
and writing about technology. Such a course could,
for example, be primarily historical, focusing on writ-
ers in the nineteenth century and before, including
Leonardo DaVinci, Galileo, Newton, Faraday, Darwin
and others. An alternate topic might be writing about
science and technology for the modern, educated
lay audience. Works might be examined for the im-
portance of the technological and scientific devel-

in investment banking, finance, and consulting.
Prereq.: MSC 3806.
MSC 3913 Operations Management in the Service
Sector
Traditional courses in operations management usu-
ally deal with manufacturing, because the concepts
and techniques of operations management were
originally developed in manufacturing settings. How-
ever, as the service and nonprofit sectors of the
economy gain in importance, they have greater need
for the types of tools and techniques which manu-
facturing uses. This course explores the applicability

to enable students to recognize the features of var-
ious decision problems which make them candidates
for computer modeling, to specify the design of ap-
propriate management science models, and to real-
istically interpret the output from these models. De-
cision problems will be drawn primarily from the
production, finance, and marketing areas. Topical
coverage will be determined by the instructor and
will be drawn from areas such as the following: sim-
ulation, linear programming, queuins theory, risk
analysis, inventory models, portfolio theory, and Mar-
kov processes. Course material will include readings,
cases, and lectures. Students will use the computer
extensively in their case preparations. In some in-

processing techniques are rising higher in many
organizations. This course is designed to acquaint
the MBA candidate with current and future trends in
decision support systems. Topical coverage will in-
clude: developments in hardware and software, de-
cision support systems, high-level planning lan-
guages, and the politics and problems of systems
implementation. Because this course is heavily di-
rected toward issues of man-machine interaction and
decision making, it is significantly narrower in scope
than either MSC 3932 or MSC 3933. This course
is usually conducted as a seminar, and registratic
